Dare we ask what Abigail did to get her descriptive name? :lau

Sounds like your kids and husband, even if he is "bad with names," picked some good breeds and you will have a lovely mixed flock. It's great to hear that chickens are providing a bonding experience for your family!

Welcome to BYC. where a lot of experienced and generous folks will be happy to help you in any possible way!
