HI all

I have 6 bantams 3 roos and 3 hens. I know some roos will have to go soon.

I am not sure of the breeds. I am not really sure of the ages either. My oldest son got them from a friend of his. In November when they came they were quite small. Now the Roos are crowing but still no eggs.

I am wanting to get some larger chickens for eggs and meat. If you have any suggestions that would be great. I have been looking at the online hatchery's. I would also like to know if anyone has had success on introducing young large breeds with Bantams.
BTW I am a full-time mother that home schools my two daughters and 1 of my 2 sons, which I couldn't do if it wasn't for my hard working, supportive, compassionate husband.

We also care for 2 Boston Terriers, 3 Nanny Nigerian goats, 1 buck, 3 baby kids(1 week old)
