I'm from Dublin, Ireland but now live in rural Leitrim.

I'm relatively new to keeping chickens. I had 3 RIR a few years ago. I took a break to work in Dublin for 5 years but now I'm back in the countryside.

I have 2 orange/ white hybrids, Lavender and Beatrice. They're about a year old and have layed every day since I got them. I also have a New Jersey Giant Rooster and his 2 sisters. They're about 10 months old. He's called Beetle because of his green sheen and is very placid. He has a few feathers on his feet but I don't know if he'll lose them as he ages. His sisters are about twice the size of the other hens and lay a small to medium egg, also every day. They're called Blackbird and Raven, very original names. They do bully the others but only a bit. They're quite wary of me whereas the other 2 are unafraid.

I live here with my wife and 11 year old daughter. I work as a sys admin with a local food company.

Hi Gazdaz,

I'm from Dublin too, living in Wexford now. Just started keeping chickens this year. Bought 6 brown hens at point of lay back in March and then hatched some chicks myself. From the hatchings I've got a French Black Copper Marans ( 2 roosters, 1 hen), a Swedish Flower Hen Rooster, 3 Cream Legbars ( 2 roosters, 1 hen), 2 other hens that I think might be a Sulmtaler Legbar cross, and 5 Roosters that are some sort of mix between them all. Only my brown hens are laying so far, others are just coming up to 5mths old. Trying to sort out what to do with our roosters, getting very attached to them all :D
