Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.”

What breed of chicken?

 

I have my hobby flock (pets) that my granddaughter and I share-- Stewie the rooster, 4 black sexlink hens, 2 production red hens, 1 light brahman hen.

 

Then I have my flock- not pets. Currently 9 barred rock hens, with 2 rhode island red roosters. Plus 24- 5 week old velociraptor rhode island reds in the brooder. Will be setting 40 to 50 eggs in my incubator mid month. Plan is to expand flock to around 50 adult birds.

A trio of Silver Seabrights (1 roo, 2 hens)
3 Barred rock pullets (3 weeks old)
3 Brown Leghorns (straight run, so we'll see) age 1 week+
3 Red Pullets (1 week+ as well)
3 Speckled Sussex (age 4 days)

On Friday we'll pick up:
3 BLRW (age 3 weeks)
3 Buff Orpingtons (2 days old)
3 Marans (2 days old)
all of these will be straight run

On the 15th I get:
3 EE
3 Ameracauna
(also straight run)

And then we wait on the 3 Wellies and 3 Delawares.

My mixed up flock of Barred Rocks, Red hens, Brown Leghorns, Speckled Sussex,  EEs, BLRW, Buff Orps, Wellies and Delawares Marans and Ameracaunnas, lone Sebright roo  and a Muscovy quad.

1 Barred Plymouth Rock

1 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte

1 Silver Spangled Hamburg

1 Black Australorp

1 Columbian Wyandotte

and

2 "Araucanas" (from what I understand, these are probably actually EE's right? I ordered from Murray McM.)

 

I just went with Chickens I thought were pretty. :)

I'm sorry. I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.
