Hi everyone!! My name is Sarah and I have had my oldest chickens for about 6 months now. I was introduced to chicken keeping from someone I knew, they let me have the eggs from the hen that they had and I really liked the idea of having fresh eggs every morning. Also I tried my hand at incubating! Out of 30 I had one success (the chicken was a very young RIR), I named him Nemo 
I went to the feed store the next day to get him some companions and that's how I got started. Now I have five 6 months, (RIR, 2 red stars, Barred rock and Polish) Five 4 months old (cornish and a turkey) and Fourteen 2 month olds (2 red stars, one orpington, 2 blue silkies, 4 australorps, 2 ameracaunas, 2 black stars and one sebright) and most recently acquired 2 class A seramas!!! Everyone else is growing up around the poor seramas lol So yeah, got my hands full and I enjoy it

) You have a nice mix of breeds and hybrids. Black Star is one of several labels under which some hatcheries market their Black Sex Links which are very friendly and hardy, egg laying machines. I raised them for years (along with dozens of other breeds and hybrids) and they have been my best layers, consistently churning out more than 300 large, brown eggs per hen per year. You should get loads of eggs from those two girls.
