I've had chickens in the past, but raising new chicks, currently. I have a straight run of variety bantam cochins, which I got first. I think I've got about half pullets, and half cockerels. They are a month and a half old, now. Also recently purchased 3 standard silver-laced wyandotte hens, but all survived the mail order, so I actually have 5! They seem very robust, so pretty sure I'll have five hens. I'm not a know-it-all with regard to chickens, and these varieties are new to me, so I'm sure I will have questions.
