I've got 8 right now. I get bossed around by my RIR hen and Deleware hen. Does anyone else find that sad?

We live on a farm and have alot of chickens that free range so with the chickens plus the ducks plus the guineas we have 85+?
We have got alot of new young pullets this year since most of the older hens have past

Next year we will be getting turkeys too!


Here are some pictures of our chickens




We hatched out this big guy years ago and he is the best rooster so sweet and a big ladies man!

I have five ....... 1 Blk Australorp, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 RIR, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Cochin X

 

[Time-Out]

I put down 51-100, although our aim is about 30. With 68 chicks brooding, 14 adults and 16 more eggs incubating... I'm not sure we'll ever get down to 30!

Not 100% sure..think there are 45 now(1 roo...some possible cockerels coming up) as I have been collecting from CL when people give them away free(sad but I take advantage of their ignorance,poor chix) and its TOO many. The cockerels will be processed when large enough and some of the older layers(that haven't been named). The smell can be overwhelming if I don't clean them out in a timely manner too. So basically the numbers have doubled since last summer and I have gotten more enclosures erected for newcomers. They ALL run in the pasture during sun-up-sundown but doesn't take long in the chic shed to smell it up. LOTS OF WORK. And whats funny is I don't like to clean them early in day because it upsets the layers trying to lay so I wait until late afternoon and thank goodness we've had dry weather.

I have 78 chickens if my numbers are right. That includes chicks, juveniles, and adults. Plus I think 28 turkeys and two goats. Grand total of all my farm animals is roughly 108.
