We currently have 28 chickens and 3 roosters. Mostly Australorp, but also some Wyandotte and a few retired oldies. They're currently spread out over two permanent coops and 2 movable ones.

Right now, I have 17 chickens (16 hens and a big proud roo). But, as we're slipping into fall, they are cutting back on me as I'm only getting 5 or 6 eggs a day. I have written a strongly worded letter to management, but alas, she is me.  I also have 7 ducks I hatched out of an incubator and as per the law, there were more drakes. The 3 girls haven't started laying yet so I don't expect any duck eggs until next spring. The 2 geese only lay seasonally and they are long done for this year. My gander is sub-par, as I have never found a fertilized egg and he isn't offering any explanations.

We have 4 hens! Bernice is a buff orphington and Rosie, Stella, & Louise are barred rocks. We went to a homesteading fair a year ago, my husband went to a chicken class and later said to me "we could do this!" Neither of us had ever been around real chickens or knew what we were doing. But we are glad we took the leap and will probably never go without chickens now!

I currently have ten hens and one rooster. This is their first year, and my first year as being a chicken tender. I have a mixture of breeds in this flock but the majority are larger sized hens (Bielefelder, White Brahma, Black Australorp, ect.). They are really fun little gremlins who have a whole host of personalities. The waddle running never gets old. Highly recommend getting some chooks.

These eggs are from our four hens. One hen is quite older and the rest are just under a year old. They are all laying right now!
