What kind of chicken has grey feathers.

[Jimo52]

I just called them that cause of the sound they make. Kind of like a machine gun. CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK

Haha that might get old after awhile

Oh, not even close. Another 10 weeks.

So is she close to egg laying size? I think they are all three about 11 weeks old.

Are you an official chicken farmer?

Oh wow. Ok. I have three older chickens. I thought they were younger. I guess not.

I currently have 27 birds:9 guineas and 18 chickens of mixed ages. I am building a new shed/coop that can house 25 layers and has a brood pen and a meat rabbit setup inside. I am raising eggs and meat for a CSA farm, and plan to offer hatching eggs and chicks next spring.

If i'm not a chicken farmer, I am as close as you can get without selling my soul to tyson or perdue i guess. I do have 5 acres on which I try to produce as much of my own food as I can. I have been here a year and a half. It is a work progressin and this season the lion share of that progress has been on building poultry infrastructure and livestock. .

It does look like a blue Cochin pullet. Most don't start laying until 6-8 months in age.

Wow! That’s impressive. You’re really taking off. Do you have a website for your farm? Yes, I’d say you’re a chicken farmer. It sounds like you’re learning on the go. Are there requirements to being part of the CSA? Do you have to produce a certain quantity?

Is that related to a white leghorn?

Thank you. No website as of now. The owner of the CSA is committed to providing a certain amount to his share holder. Him and I just have verbal agreement. I do my very best to come through reliably, so far so good, but if I couldn't produce for some reason in reality it would fall in him to provide something else to his cients. Of course he gets paid up front and I get paid by the dozen, so I think it's pretty fair.

I am originally from Brooklyn NY. I h have never learned more on the go in my life! I love the challenge and chickens re so e enjoyable it drives me.

You should get a website or a Facebook page so we can follow your success! There is a similar kind of thing here in Idaho. Various farmers offer items all through one main farm. Microgreens are huge here.
A chicken farm is a long way from Brooklyn. Two different worlds. Is this a recent switch or have you been at it for awhile?
