What do you have in your flock?

, but much like trying to name off all 7 of Snow White's dwarves within 15 seconds, it can be difficult to remember them all. *ahem*

Adult Flock:
1 Barred Rock
2 Phoenix
1 OE
3 EEs
1 Red Sex-Link
1 Salmon Faverolle
2 Silkies
2 New Hampshire Reds
Total: 13

Adolescent Flock:
2 Tolbunt Polish
2 Pure Bred Ameraucana (from show stock)
5 Barred Rocks
1 Red Sex-Link
4 OEs
Total: 14

Chicks:
6 EE Bantam
1 Black Japanese Bantam
2 Standard EEs
Total: 9

So I'm currently up to 36 chickens.
And then, to top it off, I have an order of chicks coming in July with 2 German Spitzhaubens, a random "meal maker," Barred Rocks (unsure how many I will keep), and 5 Assorted Polish. Add to it three broody hens, each with five eggs under them... Chicken crazy indeed.

If you would like a bonus count, I ALSO have:
3 Embden geese
3 Khaki Campbell ducks
2 Buff Orpington ducks
3 Pekin ducks (one crested)
2 Muscovy ducks
4 Bourbon Red turkeys.....

I don't really have that many...

These are most of my birds. There are three in the coop sitting on eggs. I'm not what type I have but I do have one silkie rooster and two silkie hens.
 
Our "meal Maker" turned out to be a white leghorn. I wasn't excited about it at first but she is the loveliest white bird. She resembles a dove more than a leghorn. She also has the sweetest temperment of any leghorn we've ever had.

I've had the same experience with white leghorn. She is actually a lot like my white Japanese bantam in temperament, and also on the petite side compared to my BO's, RIR's and CM's. Very pleasant bird :)
 
Our original flock was, and still is, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Rhode Island Reds and 2 Easter Eggers
We then added a Black Australorp rooster, 2 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Red Sex Links
And then the chicken craze set in further :love  and we got a few Silkies, a Sultan, a Bantam Cochin roo and more Easter Eggers!
Too many chickens you say? There's never enough! :old

Agreed! We started off with 2 RIR last year for our daughters Easter surprise. Then the following week picked up 2 EE's. This February we were given a sick RIR who healed beautifully. Of course she needed a friend so we picked up a lonely 2 week old leghorn that was in with the 3 day olds...AND 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Cuckoo Marans and a white Japanese Bantam for good measure. :) They are such beautiful, loyal, loving, charismatic creatures. It's no wonder we all end up with so many :)
 
We have:
Cream Legbar (4- a few days old)
Egyptian (1- few days old)
Easter Eggers (2 few days old, 1 6 months old)
Black Orpington (1- 1 year old)
Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons (2- few days old)
Welsummers (2- 1 month old, 1 few days old)
Barred Rock (1 - 1 month old)
Golden Comets (3-3 months old)
Buff Orpingtons (2- 3 months old)
Brahama Bantam (1- 3 months old)


We are just starting this flock- we lost our flock of 10 to dogs last week. Within that flock I had Dominiques, Sebrights, EE's, Black Australorp, Golden Cuckoo Maran and a Buff Cochin
