New chicken owner

[StephRN]

So I am a new chicken owner. I raised 6 chickens together from chick age. They have been with us for 4 months now. I did have two Barred Rocks, two RI reds, and two Cali whites. I am working on adding two Polish hens to the flock. I recently lost a Cali white and RI red to a neighbor dog while we were on vacation. I would like to replace my hens with producing hens, possibly an orphington or Easter Eggers, but am afraid of them not getting accepted into the flock. I am looking forward to fresh eggs, but none of my chickens gave started producing yet. I hope they will soon.

Enjoy the chickens!

Welcome to byc

THe only chicken that ever gave me trouble with introducing “someone” new were RIRs.
Would like to hear others experience.
