I remember showing Red Stars, which are a hybrid layer breed, and Silver Leghorns, but when I ordered those they came with a lot of bent toes which are a disqualification. Some of my favorite breeds are Barred Rocks and Salmon Faveralles. We often ordered the "exotic mix" from the hatchery which was the odd leftover breeds.

I also showed sheep and horses but chickens were the most fun. :)
