Hello, congrats on getting your first flock!

Thanks for "introducing" me to the Onagadori; I had never heard of those and had to Google the long-tailed beauties. You must have a striking-looking flock with your three breeds!

And, clearly, you already know there's no such thing as a "free" egg. But the expense of raising chickens makes the cost well worth it.

Welcome to BYC, where you can meet a lot of smart, generous people who are willing to share their experiences and support. It's good to meet you!

Welcome to BYC! You picked an unusual assortment of chickens. I'd love to see pictures.
As @Callender Girl says, those eggs won't be free. They will be tasty though!
Best of luck with your flock!

Firstly...
Your flock sounds like a terrific trio! The three musketeers maybe...
