Wow 25 birds! That's a good number you have there. I love Barred Plymouth Rocks. I have six of them currently. Four pullets, 1 hen and one cockerel. Also have Buff Orpingtons, Black Australorps and one White Plymouth Rock. I've got a total of 44 right now including 3 Light Brahmas I bought in Stillwater yesterday.

I'll bite on this thread--sounds fun. Though, do I really want to count? Laugh.

4 Rhode Island Reds
2 Barred Rocks
1 Easter Egger
3 Americaunas
1 Buff Silkie
2 White Leghorns (that matured to terrible breed standards)
1 Dutch Black Bantam

1 Rooster, undetermined, leaning toward Easter Egger

Early Spring Additions
1 White Cochin Rooster
1 Buff Cochin Rooster

1 Speckled Sussex Hen
1 Speckled Sussex Rooster
1 Golden Sebright Rooster
2 Black Sex Link Hens
-- this is evidently what happens when the eldest child is allowed to pick chicks out of the bin. They all end up roos. Luckily they've established a working pecking order and life is good so long as they are together.

Wow 82 birds in total! That's impressive! I wish I could have that many. Though as is 44 is plenty for me too.

You ever plan to get more? I'm still wanting Black Jersey Giants, Buckeyes, LF Cochins, Dark Cornish and Silver-grey Dorkings.

Yes, but I cancel my chicken math in two ways: When the weather is cool enough, a maximum of three can roost on my legs without getting pushy. I sometimes feed them treats by hand; one hand for everyone and one hand to my side for the girls at the bottom of the pecking order.

You live in the city or country?

 

[lovemy6hens]

In-between. We're outside city limits, but not completely rural. It's great to know we're not restricted by city ordinances.

Which city you live near? Dallas?
