Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

I think your roo is a Welsummer, the two red hens look to be either red sex links or production reds, the barred hen looks like she might be a cuckoo Marans, the one debeaked hen looks like an EE, and I can't tell what the other one is (possibly a silver laced Wyandotte?).

Are they laying? if so...are you getting any dark or green colored eggs?

The rooster looks like a barnyard mix to me. The redish hens are Red Sex Links. The barred one is either a Barred Rock or a Cockoo Marans (hence the egg question) I am leaning toward Marans because she is so dark. The silver headed one looks like a Dark Brahma, but they should have feathered feet. So either she is really bad quality stock or possibly a mix as well (I can't tell if they have feathered feet or not). Where did you get them?

Happy chickens lay happy eggs!
