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.
