Hi, First Time Flock Owner

[GGPig]

Hi all!

I am a first time flock owner, have had my chickens/geese for about 4 weeks now and already love having them. I kind of went overboard with how many to get, just because I couldn't decide on which breeds. Currently have 1 of each of the following breeds:
Chickens:
Buff Orpington
Welsummer
Spangled Russian Orloff
Speckled Sussex
Blue Cuckoo Maran
Black Australorp
Light Brahma
Easter Egger
Salmon Faverolle
Barred Rock
Patridge Cochin

Geese:
Embden
Toulouse

Looking forward to learning more!

Hahah, yes I originally had thought about only getting 6, but here I am. I figure I try them all out and then once I decide what I like, the next go around I will only get those (or just get new breeds)
