I'm introducing myself, I am Trever and my wife Stacie and we just started our flock of 24 hens. a mixed bag and always looking to add new . We are from Cougar WA. We look forward to the communication with others about our birds.

Hello from not-too-far-away in Astoria! And welcome to BYC- it's a wonderful place.

What breeds did you get?

Welcome to BYC! I'm glad you joined us!

I have 4 RIR,4 gold laced wyandotts, 4 australorps, 4buff Os 4 EE and 2 barred rock and 2 welsemers. We are looking for another 6-12 to add to the flock. We want nice looking breeds that lay well. Around here if you dont lay you dont stay.

 

[ChickenHermit]

That sounds like a great mix! Many colors of chickens, and many colors of eggs!

 

[YaYaLaVic]

How do you tell which chickens are laying?
