This is my very first experience with raising chickens. My brother got them for me for Christmas last year because he LOVES his chickens and thought I would enjoy having some as well. I have 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Pearl White Leghorns, 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 White Crested Black Polish, 1 Buff Brahma and 1 Easter Egger that I thought was an Ameraucana, but it turns out she is a mixed breed.
You have a lot of my favorites too
Don't say that! She'll be the first to get taken by a predator or get sick if she's you're favorite.

oh! I know! It always seems to go that way for me too!!Whether it is a chicken, a cat, a dog, it never fails!
. The only oddball chickens are the Easter Egger and the Brahma.
Daisy passed away in 2018 from complications of salpingitis. She was, the greatest hen ever.
Oh ok. Sorry for your loss.
They are wonderful chickens and names.I have 6 grandkids so I bought 10 chickens. That way, each grandkid got to pick one to name and call his/her own. I purposely bought 2 of each breed in case one died, then each grandkid would still think they had a chicken
The kids named them:
“Cow”(the Easter Egger),
“Rose” and “Reddie”(Rhode Island Reds),
“Chick Chick Elvis Presley” (the Buff Brahma), she got named two names. My mom-in-law had already named her Elvis but then my grandson wanted to name her “Chick Chick”.
“Radical Chick” and “Amy Farrah Fowler” (Barred Rocks),
“Lenny” and “Squiggy”( White Crested Black Polish)
“Queen Roselina” and “Buttercup” (White Leghorns)
It was a long time ago but I still miss sometimes. I only started calling her that after she passed. I understand the jinx.
Thanks!They are wonderful chickens and names.
