Perfect Flock

[AShelDuck1]

I’m coming down with the Bird Flu! lol I want to get more birds!

Can you guys tell me if I’m being crazy, talk some sense into me?

I currently primarily have bielefelders. I used to have Orpington’s, and have two original hens and a biele/orpington mix. I have 20 chickens two biele roosters.

I was thinking of expanding and getting 10 cream legbar for the blue eggs and I wanted to see what would happen if I bred back to my biele roosters

Maybe instead of legbar True Blue, Amerrcauna, or Arkansas Blue?

And maybe some Plymouth Rock?

My goals:
Dual purpose flock
For eggs, and meat
(More friends are asking for eggs too)

I like them to brood some theirselves for ease of expanding.
I have incubated.

I do wish we had better meat and better eggs.

But I want to stick with heritage birds.

1. Should I expand?
2. If I do expand what would be the best breed?
3. Should I just incubate my own?

cornish cross are good meat and egg birds, black australorp are great layers and my black australorp is broody but not mean broody (wont peck at me and lets me pick her up and collect eggs)
