I have Barred Rocks and they have been a great chicken so far. They are 24 weeks old and just starting to lay eggs. I do not plan on buying a different breed at this time.

I always remember the story of the Breeder who was having trouble improving his line and asked a judge and master breeder to help him set up his breeding pens. The judge showed up with a hatchet and went into the coop housing 100+ chickens and left the breeder outside to wait.
The judge came out hours later and presented the breeder with a trio and an otherwise empty coop.
I would like 3 more hens, but this is what I've got right now. I'm going to try and hatch close to 60-80 dark this year plus the project birds. I plan on culling down to 2 roos and 6 hens for the dark cornish, and maybe three hens and one roo for each for the projects.
I will hold the dark in cycle three to 2-3 roos and 8-9 hens, and cycle 4 hold at 3 roos and 9 hens. I would be very happy with that number.

I have too many varieties but now I know what I want, so over time, I will be downsizing to:
Orpingtons for me
and
Silkies for my hubby.
