Peeps in Europe!

[Cragg Klefor]

I've got to admit, when I saw the tag for this thread I thought it to be a mistake. It's a rarity (in my experience) that Ireland is considered part of anything We're too small!

Hi to all from Germany too!

My flock: 1 Vorwerk, 1 White Sussex, 1 German Sperber, 1 Bovans Black, 1 Maran and 3 Swedisch Flower. This is my fourth year, and like last year I plan to get breeding eggs again as soon as a hen turns broody. Am planning on getting Cream Legbar and Ostfriesian Möwen eggs this time!

What breeds do you guys not have that you would like to see in your countries?

I'm very much against importing breeds in general.
Given a choice I would stick to the local breeds here and not mix them.

To each their own
I'd like to bring some of our bantams over. They're probably already in Europe, but in small numbers

There are lots of bantams in Europe.

And, to each their own sounds cool but I rather prefer 'what's best for the chicken'.

Well the Americas have breeds that aren't native, and so does the Eu and African Union

Since we don't really have any "local" breeds here, I am planning to import hatching eggs from the UK in spring. OEG (LF) and Andalusians Both are available in Ireland, but the strain of OEG that I'm after I find near impossible to get hold of and Andalusians are pretty rare here.

Current flock got downsized to 1 Sussex hen and 1 OEG hen.
