Wishlist of a "wierd person"

I'm sitting her, not being able to sleep, thinking of the best way to spend 100 dollars. A normal woman would say shopping, clothes, shoes, the works. I have a different wish list tonight. Spring is getting closer and closer. I am on the verge of Spring Fever. The next semi warm day, I am setting to work in the barn. The incubator is going in the tac room this year, I'm thinking, if Larry will run me some electrical outlets inside, I will put the brooder in there also. Larry says it will be too hot in there, but that is mainly my point, they can use each others heat and I can have a fan in there in case it gets too warm. But I don't really think that will be an issue, b/c baby chicks need to stay around 90 degrees and the eggs need to stay around 101. A good fan circulating the air should work great. Anyway, here is my wish list.

And pics to go along with it...

Ducks, I will just go with hatchery choice unless Larry has a preference. He will fight me on this one, he said "No Ducks"

Golden Laced Wyandottes

Black Sex Linked, they are called Sex Linked b/c you can tell the sex by the coloring. The females will be solid black and the males will be barred, or black and white speckled to you non-chicken speakers.

Blue Wyandotte
I don't know why, but I think these a beautiful

Easter Eggers, these are called Ameraucanas sometimes, but they often get confused with Araucanas and that is incorrect, so I stick with Easter Eggers. They are called that b/c they lay mutilcolored eggs.

Sicilian Buttercups
I just want these b/c my mom loves buttercups and IDk, they are pretty.

Golden Spangled Hamburgs

I really don't know that Larry is going to accommodate me this year. He gave me full rein last time and I was cautious, sticking with two breeds, but I want to branch out and see what else there is to have. Don't get me wrong I love my buff orphs and I love my little New Hamps. I have little love for the Rhode Island Reds, but they are still okay. I just want a mixture. But this means more pens for Larry to build.
I would have to have 2 more pens like the one I have now. And at $250 a pen, IDK if it is happening.
