Omgosh you aren't kidding chicken addiction. Though I'd be good with 6 hens, now I"ve got probably 15 hens, 17 babies, and 5 soon to be teens (they still chirp) and I just got an incubator with 18 cochin bantam eggs, and 9 peacock eggs.. and I really really want a polish... and hubby wants a silkie, oh oh and a frizzle! my my my. I'm on the waiting list for lavender orpingtons too.
