What do you have in your flock?

Suspicious she might be a he?! I'm not sure on her breed, but I thought maybe leghorn. She's about 4.5 months. Here's another pic.

Suspicious that's not a leghorn. At 18 weeks she would have a comb. Leghorn combs are big and impressive, she has none.

To compare, the white chicken in my avi is a leghorn pullet at 17 weeks.

Another member said she might be a White Chantecler. I looked those up and she looks exactly like the pics. So I guess I can stop saying I'm not a fan of my Leghorn

A Lot.

Well, mine's a bit involved...Here's what I currently have:

The older ones (All a little over 7 mos.):
3 SLW pullets - Lexi, Astrid, & Freya (I'm culling two of these because I don't like them- they're bullies)
2 Blue Ameraucana pullets - Nora & Cora
1 Wheaten Ameraucana cockerel - Hugo

1 Silver Laced Polish cockerel - Paris (about 4 mos.- Getting culled soon because I have no intention of breeding him)
2 BW Ameraucana bantam pullets - Clover & Charlotte(about 4 mos.- These two are being culled soon because they were not supposed to be bantams & I can't use them)
1 Blue Ameraucana cockerel (12 weeks- Athos)
1 BLRW pullet (11-12 weeks- Phoebe)
1 BLRW cockerel (11-12 weeks- Pippin)
1 BW Ameraucana pullet (10 weeks- Calliope)

The rest are all 8 weeks old today and are from a hatchery:
2 Speckled Sussex pullets - Libby & Tessa
2 GLW pullets - Bonnie & Elena
1 BCM pullet - Gwen
1 Salmon Faverolle pullet - Sophie
1 SLW cockerel - Percival
1 Partridge Rock pullet - Gemma
1 Welsummer pullet - Quinn

In addition to breeding B/B/S Ams, SLWs & BLRWs, I plan on adding several more breeds and varieties along with eliminating several as I go. It's a work in progress, and chicken math is playing a big role in my decision making process...I can't help it

I want to add just ONE to my flock..
Titan (our roo) has another home, leaving an opening for one more girl.
We want another Wyandotte, we have a GLW and I am able to get a Silver Laced Wyandotte today or should I wait till Spring and get a GLW??
Wyandotte is the only pullet that doesn't have one like her. I hate these decisions!! Anyone have their opinions? I asked my ohio board as well

We have one "nursery hen" who is blind but helps raise chicks, especially if I incubate them. I currently have 75 hens and pullets, and 17 roos and cockerels. I have a few growing out that will go to freezer camp. I have gotten chicks from feed stores, hatched them and had a friend give me her whole flock of 16 hens and 2 roos when they moved. I am working on building breeding pens for specific breeds, but as of now, they are mostly all mixed. I have two rooster and their hens separate as well as the nursery separate.

we have 31 leghorns, 5 silkies and at the moment 36 cornish cross chickens to be butchered this Friday.
