I wonder how to get all the members to take my poll....Im really curious to know the average number of chickens the MASSES of people on here have..............

 

[4 Love of Baby Chickens]

I have exactly 22 chickens.

I'm concentrating on breeding Rhode Island Red's and Black Sexlink's. I just need to buy 2 or 3 more Barred Rock hens because the only broodies that I trust with raising the baby chicks right are my two BR hens Chili and Pepper. So when one is broody and I'm saving the eggs to put under her I have to wait at least a week or so that I can have at least 4 to 6 BR eggs to stick under the hen.

Well anyway my dream is to own 20 Rhode Island Red hens plus 2 Rhode Island Red roosters to make that the hens are fertil and own at least 10 other breeds so that I can enter in quite a few classes in the Fair.

The names of my chickens are.............

1. Rusty ~ Rhode Island Red rooster

2. Bunty ~ Rhode Island Red hen

3. Robin ~ Rhode Island Red pullet

4. Ruth ~ Rhode Island Red pullet

5. Reggina aka Regi ~ Rhode Island Red pullet

6. Scarlett ~ Rhode Island Red chick

7. Ruby ~ Rhode Island Red chick

8. Ginger ~ Rhode Island Red chick

9. Milkshake ~ Rhode Island Red chick

11. Chili ~ Barred Rock hen

12. Peppermint ~ Barred Rock hen

13. Henny Penny II ~ Red Sexlink hen

14. Babs ~ Red Sexlink hen

15. Coal ~ Mixbreed hen

16. Carmel ~ Mixbreed hen

17. Butterscotch ~ Mixbreed hen

18. Marshmellow ~ Easter Egger hen

19. Blueberry ~ Easter Egger hen

20. Peep ~ Easter Egger hen

21. Little Shadow ~ Black Sexlink pullet

22. Zon ~ Black Sexlink cockeral
