1 white, 1 brown

Chicks went to the coop on June 25, a week later than I had planned. Egg production through today has been sparse, with a fair amount of cannibalism. I think the presence of chicks is changing that; time will tell.

Present flock:
3 americauna (one rooster? or one white egg laying Americauna?)
1 Rhode Island Red
2 Barred Rock
1 Ancona
1 Columbian Wyandotte rooster

Chicks 5 meat birds - slaughter late July
4 Buff Orpington
3 Americauna
2 White Leghorns
1 Mystery bird - Dark colored, feathers on legs (I suspect a Cochin of some sort).

Chicks should begin egg production in November. 4 brown layers, 3 green layers and 2 white layers. Present flock is 3 brown layers, 2 green layers and 1 (+1?) white layer.

I need to zip tie the grown Americauna birds legs this summer for ID purposes. Some will be for the stew pot this year. The Ancona and a couple of brown layers too, after pullet egg production starts. 2016 chick order will be mainly meat birds, 3 brown layers and a white or green depending on survival of chicks.
