Which breed that you don't have do you wish you did and why?

Hmm. I would love some light sussex and some marans. I really like the look of the wheaten marans, and the splash marans. But my plan for my fantasy farm where I can have every animal I've ever wanted is to get some splash marans and some cuckoo marans and put a splash roo over cuckoo hens to make blue sex link marans

The light sussex simply because I think the columbian pattern is striking and I love the sussex personality. I'd also like some Ameraucanas (any color would be fine, but I think I like the B/B/S and wheaten best) for the blue eggs and blue laced red wyandottes for eye candy.

I keep toying with the idea of building a bantam coop and thinking about what bantams I would get. I keep coming back to the favorelles. They have so many "bonus" features I find amusing; beards/muffs, feathered feet, and 5 toes. Of course, after seeing some of the cool silkie mixes here on BYC I could really go for some of those too. They're just such unique looking mutts! I'm also seriously considering bantam ameraucanas in B/B/S or maybe lavender, again for the blue eggs.

I would really like a BLRW and a splash OEGB hen. I think both are beautiful, and have heard that they're hardy, good broodies, and sweet.

OEGB's they are perty and I like the way they act.

For me, I have been getting eggs for what I want but not always having the best hatch or any hatch. I am trying to get at least breeder quality if not show quality.

I cannot find show quality Speckled Sussex. I've talked to an APA judge and he said he hasn't seen a good Speckled Sussex in years.

BBS and White Langshan. I have 3 BBS due to hatch today or tomorrow but that isn't enough. I have a lead for Fall eggs. It is darn near impossible to find good white.

BBS Jersey Giants. I have a lead on these. As a child I showed some of a friends chickens at fair and got Champion with a Black Jersey Giant pullet so it is to relive a childhood memory.

Buff Brahma. I just haven't found the right eggs yet.

Black Crested White Polish. I just like the way these look and would like to try a project with them. Ideal has them but I don't want hatchery quality.

There are some others but I think this is enough listed.

Does anybody have any leads for me?

The one we had was from Ideal. She actually looked very nice for a hatchery bird. She didn't have that "dirty" look that a lot of them have - where the black goes down the neck and into the body.​

I love the big birds and would love to have more Brahmas (they have GOLDEN BRAHMAS!!) Delawares and Jersey Giants

and ROOSTERS!

I would love to have roosters but can't where I live (makes me very sad to not have my boys

)
