Will you be adding any new varieties/breeds to your flock this year?

[RMo2]

We are thinking of adding a few new breeds to our flock soon. I am so excited! We would like to add:
1.Lavender Orpingtons
2.Large Chocolate Orpingtons
3. Silkies

We currently only have 5 chickens in our small flock, but I have certainly caught the chicken "bug"!

What are you planning to add to your flock?

I am getting an Appenzeller Spitzhauben, a Black Copper Maran, and a salmon faverolle

Planning on adding 1. Blue Orps (large fowl) 2. French Black Copper Marans 3. OEGB's

These won't be a part of the layer flock; instead, they will be a part of my breeding program.

The blues orps are pretty too!!

Oooh -- Salmon Faverolles are beautiful! I cannot find anyone in our area that has them available. I cannot order a lot of them, so I like to be able to just pick a few. Our coop cannot handle too many more chickens.

Pics when you all get your new additions!!!

Great idea for a thread! I'm thinking of adding Blue Wheaten Ameraucana chicks, and possibly some Silkies.

I am going to get a Golden duck wing and maybe some silver laced OEG'S to!

Gonna get an Easter Egger another Barred Rock and a Buff Orp!!!

As a newbie, I have been enjoying googling some of these breeds that I had not heard of! Sounds like we will be having some beautiful additions to our flocks soon!
