What Did I Just Bring Home?

[Chickeroonie keeper]

Then she'll fit in here! I have a very mixed flock. She'll be bigger than any of my baby (including my rooster- haha!), but smaller than the rest. She will be raised by my big ol Brahma, if she'll take them tonight. If she doesn't accept them, they'll go under one of my Silkies.

I have a very mixed flock too! 15 different breeds I think? 3-5 of each breed, 40 birds altogether!

You've got me beat!

I have 9 chickens in my established flock:

• 1 Barred Rock
• 1 Cochin
• 1 Buff Orp
• 1 Welsummer
• 1 Brahma
• 1 Production Red (a rescue)
• 1 Sebright (my roo)
• 2 Silkies

And now I've got the 3 newbies, so now I'm up to 12 and 11 different breeds.

And I have 4 ducks:

• Welsh Harlequin
• Black Swedish
• Fawn and White Runner
• Saxony

I love me some yard candy!

And I've now named them:

Chick #1 = Rue
Chick #2 = Hyacinth
Chick #3 = Clary

Sure hope they're girls....

I have like 70 chickens......

Lucky!!!!!!

I'd love more, but I already have do much to do with just my little flock. Maybe if I didn't work full time...

I started out with 6 birds… oh boy, chicken math is confusing!

I’ve been wanting to get ducks for a while, but haven’t gotten around to it! I have two African geese though!

2 could be a splash Andalusian or a lavender Orpington.
3... Depends... Comb type? Is number 3 crested? I was thinking silver Sebright or silver spangled Hamburg, but it does look crested. I can't tell from the pic.

Pretty sure #3 isn't a Sebright. I have one of those. This one is def standard-sized.

I'd love a Hamburg, too! We will see!

Thanks for the input!!!

See, now, I want geese! Between the 2 of us, we have a nearly perfect flock.
