Doesn't matter though, I never expected to get so much joy from those fluffy poop factories.
I have (atm) the barred Rock couple Blake and Krystle, a black Australorp/Orpington (still not sure of the difference) mother named Alexis and her 6 quickly growing chicks, which I'm still hoping to be 4f/2m (Dominique, Sammy-Jo, Fallon, Kirby, Dex and Jeff) but knowing my luck it'll be the other way around...I got 5 barred rocks for free initially, they turned out to be 4 roos and only 1 hen.
Chickening is still a bit of a mystery to me but I noticed how I don't even check for eggs anymore, I just love having them around, having a swarm of them follow me when they 'haven't been fed for weeks and are positively starving!', hand feeding them and lately more and more able to sneak in a pet while they're eating.
Anyway, excuse the novel. I will be hovering a lot and maybe ask for advice every now and then until I learn how to chicken properly.
