Hi there- I just wanted to say hi to my fellow chicken lovers. My mom and I got into chickens a few months ago when a friend gave us two Cochins. Within a few months we were up to about 30 chickens, most of which we are starting from chicks. All are doing good now, though we lost 2 Marans and a Cochin.
We recently got a Welsummer roo, and a 10 x 16 coop, if you can call it that's it's more of a barn- to accommodate our colorful flock. We've got 6 Marans, 6 Easter Eggers, 4 Bramas (2 Light, 2 Dark,) a Dominique, a Welsummer (hen), a Leghorn, an Australorp, a Favorelle (Favorolles?) 2 Silkie crosses, a Rhode Island White and I'm thinking of hatching some bantam eggs. We are planning on starting up a 'Rainbow Egg' buisness. Any suggestions for a good starter bantam? I'm thinking Sebrights or Dutch bantams... Thanks for lookin' and farewell, chicken chums!
