Hey y'all I finally decided to sign up after ~2 years of reading posts on this site. :) I currently have 2 roosters: chicken little and gnarles, and 7 hens: salt, sage, big red, Lucy, Ginger, biscuit and pearl.
 
Welcome to BYC! A lot of us were lurkers before finally joining. Glad you decided to join our flock. What kind of chickens do you have?

I was a lurker too mainly because I was not good with computers. I am slightly improved since joining.

Gnarles and ginger are RIR, biscuit is a buff Orpington, sage is an Americana, salt is a barred rock, big red and Lucy are red sexlinks, pearl is a black sexlink, and chicken little was supposed to be a red sexlink but we're not really sure what he is lol.

You have a great bunch of layers there. Sex Links are egg laying machines (the Black Sex Links are my favorite hens). Your Americana is likely an Easter Egger rather than a true Ameraucana (a certainty if whoever you bought it from misspelled it "Americana."). If you are interested in the differences between Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers there is a good article explaining them at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html Good luck with your flock.
