The chicken thread
The roo is an Easter egger and the two hens are black stars. I have no pure breeds, but hopefully this upcoming summer I'll have some.

I hadnt had chickens since I was a kid until recently. I'll have to get some pics uploaded eventually. this thread needs brought back to life.
My current flock:
1.4 black breasted red bantams
1.1 white crested black polish
2.2 old english blue game banthams
1.4 milie fluers bantams
0.6 rhode island red standards (well they just went in the freezer today)
What I'd like to add in the near future:
1.2 Lavender Australorp
1.2 speckeled Sussex
1.2 Spangled Russian Orloffs
and a few more polish hens

The new birds are Silver Dorkings. Arrived early summer, they haven't started laying yet. Flock of 14.
The other flock is a mix of elderly banties, some barred rocks, one Easter egger mutt, and buffs. Also 14 individuals. They are all older, and really, ALL of them should go into the soup pot. Warning: if you get banties, they will hang around for many years, just because they are too cute and sweet to butcher.
I really want to get into pigeons, but have decided that the chicken numbers need to be drastically reduced before making any more animal commitments.

The wife's cats eat an all raw diet so even the bantams serve a purpose once they quite laying. i've been looking into pigeons but havent made a decision as of yet. they seem neat but not sure i'm ready to commit to that level of care and training yet.
