Thanks for the tip! I was considering some banty silkies myself they are just so darn cute! But I'm in it for the eggs! What if you want to breed some rare fellas, seperate pen? (distant future, but we like to plan ahead...)

Yep, 40 hens is a good ratio. I'd say 30 at least. but thats the beauty of Chicken Math.
Silkies

(I drew the one in my avi, modeled after Jumbo the white silkie. I added the ribbon)

For eggs, get some Leghorn or BO or RIR or another layer breed.

from AZ, have lots of fun!

Welcome to BYC! You have come to the coolest place on the internet for chicken knowledge.

I started with chickens last summer and the people of BYC have been great. This year I have tried hatching and buying chicks for even more chickeny joy. Please visit my BYC Page for my blog links that you may find informative or amusing.
