Thanks for the welcomes, all of you! Think I'm gonna love this forum!
Right now I have two Buff Orpington hens, two Mille Fleur hens, one bantam hen and her daughter/son, not sure yet what it is! Hope it's a rooster, but who knows! I have two Blue Wyandotte and their white-with-blue-speckled sisters (they look like Wyandotte7's hen!) who lay pale blue-green eggs! (adorable!) I have some black frizzled silkie babies and some more babies (like Kelsie2290's) that I just got yesterday at Tractor Supply...including 6 bantams, 2 buff Orpington pullets, and 2 black babies...not sure what they are! And one more...a two year old rose-combed speckled Wyandotte who was the first hen I just acquired last spring, Penelope.
I have a fenced in chicken area with two small houses...one with a caged area around the bottom that I am going to keep the babies in when it gets warm enough to put them outside. If it ever stops snowing!!!
Oh, and I also have two roosters, one is blue with a rose-comb and one is white with a huge red comb. They are the hatch-mates of the blue and white hens, and the mother of them all is Penelope!
As you can see, I have no idea what chicken math means! Or maybe I choose to ignore it, lol I do live in the country though...have a huge yard with not too many predators! Had one hawk take my little Mille Fleur rooster (and he looked just like "Mymillefleur's rooster!) and I am still heartbroken over that! But if I can get them in runs and get it covered over the area, I hope to eliminate that problem.
So.....sorry for the novel, but as you can see, I am also "chicken obsessed!"
Thanks again for the welcomes and I can't wait to explore all the posts in this group!
