Today I brought home our chickens :-) They are the sweetest girls (hopefully)!
There are eight total:
2 barred rocks -12 wks
the rest are all 6wk.
2 silver lace wyandottes, 2 buff orpingtons, 1 black austrolorp, and 1 Rhode Island red.

Still figuring out which breeds I like best. This requires having a lot of chickens. I can't make up my mind...
