Hi and welcome

Love your mixed flock! My plans are very much to build a lovely colourful mixed flock here. Currently have a red hybrid, a black hybrid, a light Sussex, a Isabel (cream) Silkie and a cuckoo Silkie. Chicks (not sure of what hens I´ve got overall yet) include Australorps, Marans, Vorwerks, 1 Faverolles, Araucana, bantam Cochin, Orpingtons and a mix (orp / chochin maybe?).

As a long term user and owner of forums I´ve seen some pretty nasty things going on with peoples privacy with bots who scan the internet, I´d seriously consider deleting your post with your address on it to be safe!
