Welcome new people! Pull your chair closer and tell us all about yourselfs. Your among chicken friends here so everyone is happy to give advise and show you how to aquire more birds than you will know what to do with!lol
 
I have what is probably considered a silly question but I don't know the answer so I'm gonna ask... Right now my barred rock hens are laying jumbo sized eggs. One has gone broody. Will the chicks that hatch from these eggs be bigger since the eggs are bigger?

wayne,
Be carefull, you are making the number of birds sound like a bad thing. you need to say Chickens not birds because we have "chicken math" to make the numbers sound better.

Ok. Chicken math has taken over my reasoning.

I was at the feed store today, and they JUST got in a shipment of White Leghorns.

Now I am starting to have this conversation with myself....

"All of my pullets are brown egg layers.

It would be nice to have some white eggs.

Maybe 2--3 leghorns would be nice.

But just because I get 2-3 chicks does not mean I will get 2-3 pullets. One could be a rooster.

Heck they all could be roosters!

To increase my odds, maybe I need 6 leghorn chicks. I can stew the roosters.

What if all 6 end up being roosters?

Ok, I need 10 chicks to make sure I get 2-3 pullets, and get some roosters for freezer camp.

What would my hubby say?

I could just tell him they are supplementary Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, that should satisfy him.

Ok, I NOW NEED 10 CHICKS!"

You all are a BAD INFLUENCE on ME because you taught me chicken math!!
