How many chickens do you have? They are all very beautiful! :)

I have 2 cats, 1 Golden Retriever, 2 gold fish, and now 13 chickens. :)

Tough Cookie (T.C.) Cleo, at 6 weeks old, died in April 2012. Kanaliha Cleo, at 9 weeks old, died on May 14, 2013. They are greatly missed.

About 40! 8 different breeds separated into different pens. We had closer to 70 but some died from Mareks early in the year :(, and then we recently culled all our extra roosters. My Plymouth barred rocks and Light Sussex pens, each have 7 hens and a rooster, but most of my other pens have 2- 3 hens with one rooster. ( unfortunately when you buy chicks straight run/ hatch them out you get SO many roosters, and never enough hens :(!
