Hi,

I am a new member here from QC, Canada. I've had backyard chickens for about 20 years. For a long time, I've bought my hens from the feed store. About 2-3 years ago, I had enough of RSL being the only breed available there and I started looking around for new breeds. I started acquiring birds from individuals and I used this forum often trying to identify what I just bought. I also bought fertile eggs and an incubator and got pretty successful on my first try. Very addicting. I currently have 16 mature birds and 11 freshly hatched chicks.

Current breed I have (all hens)

• Light Sussex
• Speckled Sussex
• Jubilee Orpington
• Ameraucana
• Crested Cream Legbar
• White Leghorn
• Black Sex-Link
• Plymouth Barred Rock
• Olive egger
• Unknown black crested blue laying hen

Along with the above hens, I have one Wyandotte rooster.

Happy to be here.
