(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Very new to chickens. Got my first 12 birds in October 09 - 10 mature laying hen (6 buff and 4 black Orpington), 1 rooster (Rhode Island Red), 1 juvie hen (black Orpington). The rooster was a gift too because he just showed up one day and they didn't know how old he was or who he belonged to.
5 of my birds were given to me by a friend in November who was having preditor troubles, so I was greatful for the gift.

17 hens, one rooter

1 Rhode Island red rooster, 6 Buff and 5 Black Orpington, 1 silver Ameraucana (see lays green eggs), 2 Dominique, 3 mixed or unknown
