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...
Looks like "chicken math" strikes again! ;-)
