Having chickens is a new thing for our family. We purchased 6 Americana Easter eggers and 6 golden sexlinks. After having them 3 weeks we decided to get 12 Buff Orpingtons for meat. Big mistake! I love my buff! Won't eat them! They are the best chickens ever! My chickens are 14 weeks and 11 weeks, we're keeping them all. We have added 15 meat chickens that will be processed in 5 weeksand we have not gotten close to them. Yesterday we purchased 4 Guinnea hens. Hoping they will help alert out chickens to danger. When can I add them to my flock?
This site has given us some very valuable information! One of our chickens went lame. I looked on this site and knew exactly what to do.

) Buff Orpingtons are a wonderful breed. I've raised them for years (still have some in my flock), and they are beautiful, hardy, friendly and gentle (my children and granddaughter made lap pets of them), and good layers of large, brown eggs. Golden Sex Link is one of a number of labels under which some hatcheries market their Red Sex Links which are laying machines. You should get loads of large, brown eggs from those six girls.
