Rooster and flock question

[Altairsky]

I would never breed AC for meat birds. They look gorgeous, but not really good to make useful and productive hybrids.

That seems to be the general consensus and something that I probably glossed right over while cooing over them.

They are cool looking, I've always wanted the cold hardy counterpart Svart Honas, but I'm on my 3rd flock here, so now I'm looking into the Fibro EE/OE that play well with my Marans.

I had my eye on the fibro EE myself. Only decided against it 'cause they're 23 bucks per chick

Ayami cemanis are certainly gorgeous birds, but they are unfortunately pretty much ornamental. Yes, they do lay eggs but not very many. Yes, you can eat them but they don't have much meat on them and they don't mature quickly

There's also the fact that they lay white eggs which while a purely cosmetic thing, kinda discourages me from getting them as I like my egg basket to be colorful. Yes, it is a bit silly, but is important to me personally

Color of eggs is pretty important to me too, and while white might make a good contrast to the more colorful... it's still a little boring.

This seems like a situation where you knew the right answer, but just needed to hear it from others. Good Luck w the LO Roo.
