Hello from Oklahoma

[OkieChickenLove]

Hello all fellow chicken lovers!

I'm semi-new to this hobby and honestly I've been reading many forums here for a while now, but just now needed to post something to the egg forum, but I see I need to start here.

So, my son actually is the one who got me interested. It's a long story but I have a variety of breeds. Some Rhode Island Reds, Marans (cuckoo and copper), Banties, Cochins and my latest addition is Buffs. I've already decided to get rid of the RIR's and Cuckoo Marans and get more Buffs.

I have about 30 laying hens and 15 new Banties (varieties that I don't even know yet) and about 5 roosters (one of each variety).

I have absolutely surprised myself at how much I love to mess with chickens. I'm an accountant by profession, raised a city girl, but gone country and want to learn more about chickens, so here i am.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Sounds like you have a nice flock, Buffs are nice chickens, can see why you want more!
If you want to try and figure out what your bantams are, you could post their pictures in the What Breed Or Gender Is This forum https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this
And in case you haven't seen it, you might also like to check out the state thread for your chicken keeping neighbors. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/501128/okies-in-the-byc-iii
