The 2026 Backyard Flock
Saphire Gem Hen. Known for its striking appearance and charming personality, the Sapphire Gem is becoming the new “it girl” of the chicken world. She stands out with her unique plumage, which shimmers with an alluring blue-gray hue. Feathers have a subtle iridescence that catches the light just right, making these birds a stunning addition to any flock.
Booted Bantam Hen. Also known as the Dutch Booted Bantam, the Booted Bantam is a unique and charming breed of chicken known for its distinctive feathered feet - they look like laced boots!. These delightful little birds are characterized by their unusual appearance, friendly nature, and historical significance.
Salmon Faverolle Hen. Salmon Faverolles (pronounced "fav-er-ohl") originated in France in the 1800s, specifically in the village of Faverolles. These fluffy, bearded beauties are known for their sweet personalities, unique appearance, and excellent egg production. A heart stealer!
Dark Brahma Hen. The Dark Brahma is a large, docile "gentle giant" chicken breed known for its stunning penciled plumage, feathered legs, and excellent cold hardiness. Primarily used as a dual-purpose bird for sustainable homesteads, they lay around 200 medium brown eggs annually and have a calm, quiet, and friendly temperament.
Norfolk Grey Rooster. Norfolk Greys are very rare - declared extinct in 1970. In 1974 four Norfolk Greys were found and the breed was recovered, though the breed is still rare today. They have a single comb and a red face with black eyes while the legs are slate or black. Roosters have a beautiful silver hackle striped with black, as is their neck, back, saddle and wing feathers. The rest of the plumage is black.
Buff Sebright Rooster. The Buff Sebright is a rare, ornamental bantam rooster featuring golden-buff feathers with distinct, creamy-white or white lacing. As true bantams, they are small (just 22 ounces) with a mulberry rose comb, slate-blue legs, and a unique, hen-feathered appearance. Active, alert, and capable of flight, this little rooster enjoys free-ranging.
Barbu D'uccle Rooster. These handsome fellows are primarily kept as a show bird and ornamental chicken breed. A true bantam with well-developed vulture hocks and extreme foot feathering, they have beards, muffs, and wide tails held at a high angle. With a friendly temperament and ability to adapt to backyards, it's a popular choice among chicken enthusiasts, and is cherished for its beauty and manageable size. The Belgian d'Uccle is considered a relatively rare breed, and efforts have been made to preserve and promote it.
Furness Rooster. Also known as Furness Pekins, these cuties are small, heavily feathered, and docile birds, often described as "soft, fluffy, and very friendly," making them great pets. If handled right these guys love to be held and will often jump on your lap for a cuddle. Referred to as a "feather-booted" bantam because they look like they’re wearing booties, these roosters are popular for their aesthetic appeal, particularly in dark colorations.
