In the Brooder
I'm not exactly new to this forum, as my daughter has an account and we've used it for information - a lot!
We now have 24 chickens, divided into 3 coops (don't ask - it's complicated!) We started with 3 sexed chicks 17 months ago. Since then we've hatched and added more chickens, some from a breeder and some from our own coops.
Breeds we have are: 4 silkies, 2 silkie cross (both roosters and quite ... interesting to look at). 9 double silver barnevelders, 6 rhode island reds, one sussex, and 3 sex-linked hens.
We found Back Yard Chickens through search engine searches - it comes up for every query we make! Excellent resource and we have used it many times, particularly when hatching.
