Lost my first flock just shy of 7 weeks to a predator/poor pen design. 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Australorps, 2 Silver-laced Wyandottes. LOVED the BOs, liked the SLWs, was about to call someone to sell the Australorps to.
Second flock is due in after Thanksgiving. 2 Buff Orpingtons (Fluttershy and Applejack), 1 Lavender Orpington (Twilight), 1 Light Brahma (Rarity), 1 Blue Splash Marans pullet (Rainbow Dash), 1 Easter Egger (Pinkie Pie if warm colored, Luna if gray), 1 Buff Brahma (Patrice), and 1 Blue Splash Marans cockerel (Bob.)
Names: Patrice is a character from graphic novels based on a goofy freeware game, Plants vs Zombies. My son is obsessed with both PvZ and Brahmas, so Patrice will basically be his. The other girls are My Little Pony characters. Bob references 3 separate things and I was essentially honor-bound to named my rooster Bob.
