Official BYC Poll: How many chickens do you have?

[filumene]

What kind of chicken is in the picture representing this thread? Thanks.

Well, let's see...

14 weeks - 3 RIRs, 3 NHRs - all hens for laying
10 weeks - 3 Barred Rocks, 3 Ameracaunas, 1 Buckeye - all hens for laying
5 weeks - 12 Buckeyes - 11 hens, 1 rooster - for raising (will be segregated this week)

So that's 25 - planned on having 6 for fresh eggs!

11 in total
6 cockerels (3 Buffs, 2 PBR and 1 NHR) and 5 pullets (3 Buffs, 1 PBR and 1 NHR). I technically hatched 54% males, but for the individual breeds it was almost exactly 50%

I am trying to keep a few roosters around to try to get some more laying hens in the mix, but they are just over 3 months old and the practice crowing has officially begun...

12 - First time chicken owners.

Two of each, 5 weeks old this coming Tuesday:
Salmon Faverolle
Black Astralorp (Most of the birds like earwigs, Echo LOVES earwigs)
Ameraucana (at least Ideal says they are)
Cubalaya (presumably Blue Red but they don't look anything alike color or pattern)
Partridge Chantecler (Dee will sit on our arm and walk up to our shoulder)
Ancona

I have a 3mo-chuck which I rescued as a one month. It looked like a boy initially, but is starting to look like a pullet now. XD I also have a 1 yo adopted female dog (mutt). I call them Pintu and Tintu!! XD I am not new to chicken, my Grandparents had lots and lots of them. <3 I am undecided if I should get a mate for the chick. The chick is friends with the dog. So all is well for now!! ^^
