That’s the dilemma I’m having as of this moment. I’m internally struggling between having a colorful flock with colorful eggs and colorful personalities over just surefire egg and meat producers lol. I think I have 8 different breeds on my spring chick list as of right now. My husband just wants me to stick to 3 breeds so when the chickens get past prime laying age we can hatch sex linked chicks, but I don’t know. It’s just too difficult to settle on a few and life is just too short to get some that won’t be friendly and want to be loved on.Before I got chickens, I had a list of ones that I wanted based on looks the bird and colour of their eggs more than anything. Now, I just care about temperament. I don't care which type of chicken I have as long as they're funny and friendly little monsters who are comfortable in my back yard.
