Wow! They really redid the site! I think you should get an Easter Egger or two, and maybe a Turken.

hmmm, EEs might be ok..... but turkens, i just can't seem to like those naked necks though

I'd click on the new website feature Breed Selection Tool...check all the things you want in a chicken and it gives you the best options as far as breeds. I tried it today...it's AWESOME and idiot proof... like I said I tried it today

You can't show Easter Eggers, I'm not sure about turkens.

I think Turkens are showable.

No, we have one here now... look up at the top of the page, under anouncements, see the red dots? that will take you right to it. Good Luck! BTW... silkies are cool birds, and you can show them too.

It's a great selection tool. Way nicer than the MPC one!

Good for showing: Cochins, brahma
Friendly: Buff orpington, brahma

personally, I would get brahmas or cochins. I wouldn't get turkens just cuz i think that they're ugly lol
