Well, the only ones I actually raised here were all mixed breeds. But I would really love the black or blue ameraucanas and black copper marans.

I have lavender, lavender pied, white and brown pied guinea fowl.
For chickens I have silkies, banty cochins, rhode island red, barred rock, red sex link and a bunch of those all mixed together.
For ducks I have 3 tuxedos?, a swedish blue, a india (small and dark green) and 1 I have no idea what he is, but he's a sweet heart.
I'd love to raise some heritage turkeys this year but I don't know if hubby will let me add more this year. :(

I would love to raise turkeys too. I have heard that they are difficult to raise from babies though.
