which one would u pick?

Ha, I forgot about my coop of black Ameraucana's, so now...? The black color of the birds is a drawback in Alaska with long and dark winters but those are some very large and neat birds, who haven't begun laying yet.

All my birds have come from Triple D and I'm very happy w/all of them, only ones I wasn't happy w/were the RIR's that came to me last from another owner and I'm not sure where he got them. My original and only 8 hens were from him and I taught them not be peck on each other last winter, unlike their "sisters" I just butchered.

I thought last winter, the RI Reds were the color to have, warm and wonderful...its so hard to make a choice for only one...w/price of feed and all, banties are the way to go though.

Triple D gets them from Ideal...

But Kwynn has her own incubator, so all she needs is eggs. Maybe when Crackers comes up fishing again, he'll bring more eggs...

My Buff's are my favorite birds. Every single one is super sweet. I'd even go so far as to say affectionate. They love to be held. While holding them, gently take their head and put it under your chin/neck. They'll wiggle in closer!! They love that. I guess it must make them think of mom or something.

AWWWWW. i will have to try that. Audrey is still getting used to me- we have only had them a month. But she comes to me when the rest won't. Because of her when we got our 6 chicks, we picked 4 BO's. I LOVE THEM!

If I could only have one kind, I would probably have wyandottes. I love their traditional S shaped bodies, and their rose combs are cool.

But I love EE's, too.

DID SOMEONE SAY EGGS?

my incubtor is free and clear, still needs to be cleaned, but I just hatched another 12 quail. (grand total of 34!)

And I'm up to 17 chickens (that counts my banties) and 9 chicks...and goat, bunnies, dogs, and gold fish. My mom says I'm nuts!!​

My hubby and I were watching a movie, and out of the blue he asks me...if I could only have one kind of chicken, which kind would I want?

I still havn't answered him that one.
Orps seem to be a popular choice.

Old Dominion Orpingtons.
