Greetings from Tryon, NC

[TryonHolly]

Hello. I am new to BYC and wanted to introduce myself. I have one Maran rooster, 3 Ameracauna hens, 2 RIR hens, 2 Wyandotte hens and one Redstar hen. What other breeds would I enjoy? Also how can 8 hens go two days without laying any eggs, then only 4 lay the next day? Thanks

Welcome to BYC. A Great place to learn. This site has already helped me out on my new adventure with my chickens.

Hello and welcome to BYC

Things like the weather, food, stress all sorts affect egg laying. I had 50 layers and some days I got 16 eggs, some days 40! I don't know much about breeds, but I hear Buff Orpingtons are lovely. Read the reviews, it'll give you an idea.
