What do you have in your flock?

[jaide]

I know some people only raise one breed of chickens and some people have a rainbow flock. Just wondering what everyone has.

We have

Barred rocks
Buff rocks
White leghorns
Blue andalusions
Ameracaunas
Brahmas

Just got some new black australorp, buff orpington, speckled Sussex and delawares. Came in about an hour ago!

 

[The Golden Egg5]

I was planning on getting 8
11 weeks ago when I got my first chicks... now I have
LFs:
6 buff Orpingtons
8 Easter eggers
2 black australorps
4 barred Barred rocks
1 accidental speckled Sussex
2 red sex links

Bantams:
2 porcelain D'uccles
10 Cochin bantams

And that would add up to a grand total of 35!!! All in 11 weeks. It's more than a hobby.... it's an addiction

We have Barred Rocks, Leghorns, Wellsummers, Delaware White, RI Reds, Production reds, Araucanas, Americanas, Crested Bantams, Silkies, Cochins.. we like a variety and it's always great to see people's reactions to a carton of eggs ranging from the size of a golf ball to a baseball

I LOVE THAT!!! Me too! Especially when people see the Easter Egger eggs and can't figure out the green ones!

I just have five hens. I know that's nothing compared to a lot of you who have TONS of different breeds, but I personally, love small flocks! Makes it easier to bond with them all and discover so much about each of them. So I have three buff orps, one speckled sussex and one EE mix.

does anyone know what you get when you mix a buff Orpingtons with black tail Japanese?

I think you would get a Black Tailed Buff Orpinese

 

[wornoutmomto3]

Welsummers, brownleghorns, easter eggers, and one golden laced polish hen, colorful egg basket Just added six white silkies, and am waiting for delivery of ten white jersey giants, ten black langshans and five blue langshans.

Started out wanting just six hens, chicken math Lol! ;-)

I love chicken math!

I started with 6 black australorp hens a few years ago. The numbers have since grown and shrunk, grown some more, shrunk a bit, then blew up.

LOL!

we're new to chickens, so we started out with 4 Buff Orpingtons. We weren't planning to expand the flock or get a rooster until next year, but that obviously wasn't in the cards for us. We knew within a week we'd expand sooner. When 'roostergate' occurred, we figured now is the best time to go ahead and add more. As of today, we have

5 Buff Orpingtons
1 Chocolate Orpington
1 Easter Egger
1 Blue Marans
1 Sliver Laced Wyandotte

for now...

Oh, and I forgot my sexlinks (red and black) and my production reds.

Planning on getting this year (or next):
Cream Legbars
Brahmas
Golden Laced Wyandottes

My flock:
