Hi,
I'm not really a country girl, but I'm getting to be. We live on 2 acres just down the street from ever-encroaching new subdivisions. So far, it's quiet here and there's room for some animals. We have 6 three-week old chicks and 5 hens that we got from a friend 4 days ago. These 5 hens are only laying every other day or less. Here is a list of their breeds (as far as I can tell).
Hens:
2 Brown Leghorns that lay white eggs
2 Barred Rocks that lay light brown eggs
1 White _____ that lays dark brown eggs
Chicks:
2 Easter Eggers
2 Delawares
1 Barred Rock
1 Blue Andalusian
Here are some pictures:
Please comment if you think my Barred Rocks look like something else! I'd also like help figuring out what breed the white one is.

and Welcome To BYC! Cute chicks! Good luck with your flock! The white hen might be a White Plymouth Rock.
