I just placed my replacement hens order last week.. but now I am having second thoughts. I wanted chicken breeds that are very hardy with excellent foraging skills, good layers and the ability to go broody if we ever need to breed our own chickies. Spent a lot of time researching this too...
Right now I have australorps, a buckeye, a dominique and aracaunas from last year that will stay another year. I can't wait to get rid of the red sex-links. Woo Hoo. Bye bye, dummies! So for this order, I am buying more dominiques, more aracaunas (we love those green eggs!), welsummers, cuckoo marans (for egg color), anconas, hamburgs and 2 partridge penedesenca (again for egg color). Any suggestions or recommendations?
And if you have or have raised welsh harlequin ducks, I would love to hear about your experience. From what I have read, they are supposed to be friendly, incredible layers, awesome foragers and will go broody.
