Hi, my name is Diana and we've had most of our girls since March - then added four more in July - bringing our total to 15. We've got two brown speckled sussex, one black laced wyandotte, two buff orpingtons, five black sex links, three barred rock, one for sure Easter egger and then one that we can't figure out. She looks sort of like an Easter Egger but doesn't have poofy cheeks and so far hasn't laid a blue egg, (I actually don't know if she's laid ANYTHING yet, to be honest) Her sisters have been producing eggs since the first week of July, and they're all the same age.
Our biggest issues so far have been fox. I was letting them free range while watching from the house and have caught two attacks just as they were happening - both times my birds were grabbed by the tail - both times I was able to scare the foxes away and the birds survived. We also have bear, but they don't seem interested in the coop at all.
Anyway, I'm happy to be here, and hoping to learn a lot from all of you. Thanks!
