New to the byc

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
Just wanted to let everyone know how glad I am I found the byc. I have learned so much from other readers. My family is new to raising chickens but picking up quick. We have 8 laying hens 2 Brahmas 2 Rhodes island reds 2 aracaunas and 2 silver laced wyndotes they are about 4 months so not laying just yet but soon. We have a mated pair of bantam cochins who have 5 chicks and 10 eggs right now. We also have 5 buff orpington pullets and 3 silkies about 6 weeks old. We are raising them for eggs meat and hopefully some for showing. Anyway thats enough for now. big_smile.png

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan big_smile.png

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?
