Hi everyone,
I received my very first brood of day old mixed cream Legbar/barred rock/Cochin chicks in March 2023 from my school’s FFA teacher. I took home 5 chicks and ended up with 2 hens and 3 Roos. The hens, Hazel and Harriet, started laying in July. I then received my order of 9 sexed chicks- 3 Silver Laced Black Wyandottes, 3- Easter Egger, 3- Olive Egger with 2 extras (a Wyandotte and Easter Egger) to bring my flock total to 16. We got rid of the 3 original roos, only to discover one of the new brood is a roo and we’re beginning to suspect one of the Easter Eggers is a roo, too. I KNEW I heard 2 different cock-a-doodle-doos lately! I have loved every aspect of chicken rearing so far. The entire family thought I was crazy when I announced I wanted chickens after we bought 20 acres and built our home recently. Now, they all love watching the chickens and eating the eggs; including our two King Charles Cavalier Spaniels and three cats. I’m excited to learn all I can and may even show a hen or two in next year’s county fair. My next purchases will be a frizzle feathered friend, a buff Orpington, or a Lakenvelder (I think). It seems raising chickens is like getting tattoos (addicting)!

Lol, welcome to BYC!

Can confirm, chickens and tattoos are much alike. One leads to two and two leads to twenty.

Glad to have you onboard!
