What do you have in your flock?

Pics
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! ;-)
 
I've got a lot of mixes in my flock!
I've got;

Buff Orpingtons
Black astralop
Black sex link
Golden laced Wyandotte
Barred rocks
Blue Cochins
Americana
Leghorns
Coco maroons


I've got more, I just can't think of them right now. This is a fun thread. ;):p
 
Dorkings
Buff orphington
Barred Rock
Partridge Rock
Silver Pencil Rock (Rooster)
Easter Egger
Silkies (black and white)
a Black Star
and one big Question mark (I think she is welsummer as she lays big dark chocolate eggs)
Oh and one little Nankin pullet
 
I have 7 bantam mixed cochin/old english--one is a rooster. Recently I acquired six regular sized chicks, who seem gigantic at 5 weeks compared to the bantams. At least one of these big chicks is a rooster. I'm wondering how well they will get along. Will I have to get rid of one rooster? Is a regular size rooster ok with bantam hens? Oh, and I let one of the bantam hens hatch 3 of her eggs, so I have three baby bantams. They are super cute! I'll have to post some photos in the "identify the chicken" forum soon so I can find out what they are.
 
1 black australorp chick female
2 Dominiques one hen one chick both females
15 barred rocks 6 are chicks...all females
5 Rhode island reds...2 are breeding roosters one is a pullet and 2 are female chicks

And I'm starting 15 black copper maran eggs and 14 more.black sex link eggs on the 8th of June.

This is our first chicken experience. We have:
Buff Orpington
Black Australorp
Easter Egger
Silver laced Wyandotte
(2) Dominiques

So far, the silver laced wyandotte is the most friendly one. Next, I'd say the Black Australorp is the second friendliest. Our Buff Orpington is pretty nice as well, but seems more interested in pecking at my ring. The Easter Egger is the largest (oldest?) one, and is not okay with being handled, but likes attention. The Dominiques are about a week younger and are the least friendly. I think that could be partly our fault.

Admittedly, many of these are roosters & will be re-homed, culled once they come of age.
