Hello, I am new to chickens. My flock was hatched on May 11th. I now am the happy chicken farmer of a mixture of 12 chickens. I ordered breeds that were noted to be "easy for the novice" and cold hardy as we live in central Wisconsin. Currently, I am outside writing this email and they are all under my apple tree, happily pecking.

Buff Orpingtons (I think I have a rooster from this breed). I wanted a rooster as we live where there are many predators.
Australorp
Silver tipped wyendots
and a few Easter Eggers thrown in.

there is one chicken I do not recognize. the hatchery threw in a "extra." It is a red head and breast (like a Rhode Island Red) and a white behind and tail. Very pretty.

I found this website by accident on line. It has been very informative.

Good morning, Wiscwanderer!
I am in SW WI and am also new to chickens. I have 3 EE and 1 RIR. My girls were hatched 5/5/15. I sometimes sit outside in a lawn chair, with a cold beer in hand (I am from WI, you know), and just watch the coop. I call it Chicken TV because they are so entertaining. :) I do love this website though! It's so very helpful. Have a great day!

Welcome to BYC, Hilary! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Sounds like you have a lovely flock. All those breeds are very fun to raise and lay lots of eggs! Buff orpingtons and easter eggers are some of my favorite breeds. I have some myself. I've always wanted wyandottes and australorps too.
