Final Update for Autumn:

Hens: 4 gold Comets, 3 white Leghorns, 1 Snoodle
I know all four Comets and all three Leghorns are laying. I don't think Snoodle is.
I was told to check her vent; moist means laying, dry means not laying. I checked; it looked dry, but I couldn't catch another hen to compare to, so that will have to wait.

Roosters: 1 half gold-laced Wayndotte and half white Leghorn (he's not laying lol)
He is, however, fertilizing almost all the eggs I'm cracking for breakfast, which is just as good. =)

So, I have a total of 9 chickens.
I'm getting enough eggs not to have to buy them for breakfast at all.

Current Plans:
DS is expecting some eggs to begin his flock. I'm working on getting an incubating situation set up for him. =)
We'll build them what they need as they get older; I'm going to let him do a lot of the work, I'm not just going to do it all for him.
I plan on hatching out a bunch of eggs when I can.
I want to increase my laying flock; I'll just choose which week I'm going to start, and hang onto enough eggs to hatch.
I need to find out how long hatchery Leghorns lay, then I'll start culling my non-laying hens.
I'll keep a rooster or two, so that I can have fertilized hatching eggs whenever I want them.
I'll cull the rest of the cockerels as we want them for dinner.

I think that's about it.
As usual, if anyone has any information that might be helpful, please share it; I greatly appreciate all the help I can get!!! =)
 
Good!!

Just a quick comment, if you need to store eggs before hatching you can leave them at room temperature for up to 14 days before starting incubation. Just thought you might want to know that, even know you probably knew that already. :p
