New chicken farmer

Welcome to BYC. Good luck in expanding your flock - chicks from a reputable source are a good way to go as they pose less of a threat of disease introduction.

Thanks for all the kind greetings!

So far i have
1 barred rock rooster
1 rhode island red rooster
1 (i think) easter egger rooster
And 1 rooster that is reddish with white tail feathers, i thought was Rhode island red but apparently they dont have white tail feathers

For my hens i have
3 old english game hens. At first i wanted to breed these these but the roosters are very expensive. I might try to get some eggs from someone i know to incubate and hopefully get a rooster that way.

Then 1 rhode island red hen, she is a sweetheart
1 gold/black hen that has extra toes, im not sure what she is
And 1 more hen that is supposed to be a jersey giant but from what i understand they are supposed to grow slow but this one is getting huge and she is younger than the others

I got them all as chicks from 3 different breeders in my area that didnt have the space from them. I was inspired after my trip to hawaii seeing all the chickens running around. Im just harvesting the few eggs that they lay at the moment, but I would like to put up a sign and sell chicks/eggs in front of my home. I dont plan on growing meat birds, i dont have the freezer capacity.

Thanks all, I have tons of pictures ill upload more soon!
