I have 2 California Whites, 6 Barred Rocks, 2 Buff Orphingtons, and 2 Welsummers. Total of 12 to start. They are all doing very well. The Buff that had pasty bottom last night seems to be doing better. I figure I would just keep an eye on her. Six of them are a week and half old the other six are a week today!

Welcome to BYC, Julia!

I'm glad you joined us.

Sounds like you have a nice flock! All the breeds you chose should be very good egg layers.
