Mine (Buff Orps.) lay about 5 eggs per week. I also live in the south so we usually stay relatively warm in the winter. Mixing breeds is just fine, just don't mix really young ones with older ones. They seem to work stuff out between themselves when they are all about the same size.

Try to get us a picture! I need it! For years, we've made chicken slippers for the kids on christmas morning, even before we had chickens, it's just the funniest sounding thing, and our youngest two STILL wrap around our legs, calling themselves our chicken slippers! Weird, I know............
Just lovely awesome birds! My little blind Ameraucana hen follows me everywhere. As soon as she hears my voice she comes running from the other side of the yard! Then she proceeds to stand on my foot until I pick her up
Hey everyone, thanks for all the posts it's really helped, I've come to the decision that I'm going to get 2 silkies and 2 barred Plymouth rock bantams, so what do people thing about that, 2 friendly egg layers and 2 very friendly non-egg layers? Haha
