A Lot. :D

I just finished reducing my flock from about 40 to 21. Woot! My current number/breeds are as follows: (ahem) (Roosters) 1 BCM 1 (mystery) bantam I named Little Mister (Hens) 2 Ameraucanas 2 Barred Rocks 2 Phoenix 2 Olive Eggers 1 Barnyard mix 1 Tolbunt Polish 1 Silver Laced Polish 1 Buff...

Chicken math, every time ;)

4/5 under a broody hatched. The other two gave up, and one of the turkeys died yesterday, no clue what happened. A girl wanted to buy a couple dozen eggs for the incubator but never picked them up, so I have 36 eggs incubating. I think I'm in trouble. :lol:

I understand with limits. ;) thankfully I have none. :D I told myself three phoenix, since all I wanted was a pretty roo. Sadly, my rooster died within days of arriving. I only have two hens, but I still adore them. The bans I've been reading about though... I hope they get a good hook on that...

Polish, without a doubt. There are several varieties, frizzles, buff laced, Tolbunt (a favorite), golden laced... you can't go wrong. :D

Have you ever considered Phoenix? I have two, and they are the best. They can fly, but mine aren't really flighty. My kids can catch them easily (and I have a 2 year old).

An EE is anything mixed with a blue egg layer that carries the blue egg laying gene. Technically, and OE is an EE, but a subcategory for those that lay ONLY green eggs. To get an OE, one could cross anything with the blue egg layer with a brown egg layer to get a green egg layer. There's an...

It's technically an Olive Egger, but my favorite OE lays a pretty dark green I have some second generation OEs that should start laying the next couple of months. I'm excited to see what they will produce. Thank you. :)

I had Welsummers, but I sold them all. They have good temperaments, but the hatchery stock didn't lay the shade of brown I was looking for. If you just want their temperament, they are a good bird. If you want the egg color, find a breeder if you can.

All of my EEs from the hatcheries lay green/blue(ish) eggs. Not quite a blue, yet not a nice olive from regular OEs. The green one on the top came from one of my hatchery EE roo over a brown egg laying hen. The middle one is a hatchery EE roo over another hatchery EE hen, and the farthest on...

I have a Salmon Faverolle, and with my current large flock, she doesn't get bullied. EEs (Americaunas) are really good, though the Wyandottes I have had in the past are notorious bullies. Maybe if your Wyandotte is younger you won't have any problems, but I wouldn't recommend them for being...

I hate when that happens... I had three (two of them were favorites, a beautiful EE, white with brown breast and grey head.. So pretty, and a sweet Barred Rock) lost to neighbor dogs... One of the dogs were stolen from the owner (thank goodness for me). They left it outside on a chain anyway...

You do have a variety. :D

I was considering adding leghorns this year. My neighbor and a friend have them, and I love their production capabilities.

I have a small rainbow , but much like trying to name off all 7 of Snow White's dwarves within 15 seconds, it can be difficult to remember them all. *ahem* Adult Flock: 1 Barred Rock 2 Phoenix 1 OE 3 EEs 1 Red Sex-Link 1 Salmon Faverolle 2 Silkies 2 New Hampshire Reds Total: 13...
