Hello From Michigan

Hi,

I'm new to chickens and have already learned a lot from this site and can't wait to learn more.  I've wanted chickens for a long time and while in TSC, my husband finally gave in!  We are currently building an 8X8 shed to house our new chickens.  We have 11 straight run barred rocks and 6 pullets I cant identify.  When we bought our pullets the kid working at the time didn't know what breed they were.  There are 3 buff and 3 reddish, if anyone can help identify them, I'd appreciate it!  Here's my chicks, approx 3-4 weeks old.

9 Barred Rocks, 3 Buff Orpingtons,  3 RIR, 3 Black Jersey Giants, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 4 easter Eggers, 5 Pekins, 2 Cayugas, and 10 new assorted chicks-what am I doing?

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?
