Just a curiosity question... If you were to get rid of your current flock and start over, which breeds would you choose? And how would you distribute the different breeds in your flock?
I have had just about all of the most popular breeds of chickens over the years.
I got my current birds, the Sapphire Gem and the Calico Princess, last year in April.
Both are new breeds to the USA that were developed in the Czech Republic, both are brown egg layers and both are a moderately sized bird.
They are not flighty birds at all, very quiet and docile.
They may be the prettiest birds I have ever owned and they are the most proficient egg layers for sure that I have ever owned!
They consistently lay large brown eggs with many of them being double yolked.
Have even had a few triple yolked eggs.
I have 5 hens of each of these two breeds and 1 Sapphire Gem rooster.
I may never own another breed of chicken after having these.
