This post is for the chicken loving nerd in me. Did you think I could just leave the last post as is, without even telling you what kind of hens are on their way? So, if all goes well, our flock will consist of:
3 Red Stars
2 Rhode Island Reds
3 Barred Plymouth Rocks (or just Barred Rock as most people call them)
3 Australorps
2 Speckled Sussex
2 Easter Eggers
Some of these we have lived with before and know how wonderful they are and others will be new for us. I tried to make it so that all the birds are hearty and good layers and then the next important thing was to have a colorful flock. I love that they all look different. This will be fun!!!!
If you are interested in seeing what they look like www.mypetchicken.com is a great place to see and learn about the different varieties.
