I have a bunch of RIR and Production Reds, whom I cannot tell apart.

I have 4 Plymouth Rocks

White Leghorns

Black Stars and Red Stars (what are these, anyway?)

Black Australorps

Cream Colored Fatties (got these broody gals second hand, have no idea what they are but I like them)

Weird black hens with almost a white lace pattern on their necks (again, second hand birds)

Brad Pitt the Plymouth Rock Roo

A really wimpy Americauna Roo

I imagine I have about 70 layers all together. I measure my eggs by the bucket, not by the dozen.

We are quite new to the whole poultry thing, but we enjoy it. Every day I get to gather up the eggs and see that all that chicken feed is producing for me. We got layers originally for our dogs. It has become much more than that. This weekend, we started construction of "Casa De Las Gallinas". This frontier style chicken encampment is covered in rough cut cedar slabs (that look like logs), and cut limestone. Of course, we could buy billions of eggs for what we have invested in birds, the original "starter" coop, and the Casa; but there is something to be said for the fact that we will never again have to buy eggs. The hunting dogs are loving it!

We just have 5 Golden Comets right now along with 2 Guinea keets, but I really want more (different breeds)! I'm just trying to decide what I want and how many we can reasonably house.
