Hi everyone, starting small this time. Just 10 ladies right now. Had one loss early on , a rooster that was supposed to be a pullet. He had short legs, maybe some form of dwarfism, my girls didn't like him. they kept him off the roost and picked on him. unfortunately I think he must have had other genetic problems as well. he died before I could try to find him another home. He was very friendly , but never got to the point of crowing. The girls are 3 Easter eggers, 2 barred rocks, 2 buff Orps, 2 gold laced Wyandottes,and 1 Rhode island. They are just starting to lay in the last couple of weeks, got 5 eggs today! Live in the Illinois metro east area with Hubby and kids, 1 black lab, 1 aussie/terrier cross and 1 cat, and youngest daughters new baby corn snake. Hubby finishing wonderful coop , all from scratch. Just about to move the ladies into it from their temporary coop. 
Now I can look for some more chicks! I'd like to find some Australorp and dark brown egg layersand maybe BBS Ameraucana Hens and 1 or 2 roosters to round out the flock. You know what they say about chicken math
