I've been lurking and learning for months here Thank you for so much great info. I raised Buff Orpingtons years ago but haven't had any chickens for years till about 4 months ago
I found that many ways of doings things have become obsolete with the better ways shared here.
I now have the following:
4 Barnevelders. I hatched them 2 months ago I think their all pullets
4 light Sussex these honk like a goose when excited. About a month from laying
2 (a pair) of golden seabrights
1- golden laced Wyandot
1- silver laced Wyandot
4 - black copper Marans (including Cosmo, my boss Rooster)
My last 2 acquisitions, last night, a chocolate Americana and A silver easter egger. If all works I'll be able to show my grand babies green and blue eggs along with my assortment of brown shades.
And last but not least , 12 Welsummer eggs are in my home built auto turning incubator and will go into lockdown tomorrow night
Wish me luck. I had 9 that a super Coon got to a month ago ( May he rest in peace)
I hope most of these will get to grow up
