Kathy will be supplying me with my next BRs, I think. They are awesome! Mine are getting up in years. Lexie is almost five, Becca and Amanda are three-and-a-half, Fern is almost two years old and Barbara is almost one year. Only Barbara and Fern are currently laying of those five Rock hens. Need some new blood in here.
Slowly, my flock is becoming all barred and blue Rocks with some Ameraucanas thrown in for variety. I do love my Buff Orp hens, though. Nugget is almost two, from Jody's flock, and Sunny, who is a hatchery girl, is five years old now. They are the only two Buffs I have left of my three-Ginger died a few months ago, if you recall. Both Sunny and Nugget have been broody twice (Nuggs is trying to do it a 3rd time, too). Ginger never had a break for a broody spell, though. I like them to brood once a year mainly because it gives them a rest from laying.
