One of the Barred Rock hens didn't roost in the coop last night. She had escaped the yard during the day. A predator got her during the night.
Flock:
Ancona
Rhode Island Red
Americauna (may be a rooster)
October hatch
Columbian Wyandotte rooster (will be eaten soon)
3 Rhode Island Red
2 Americauna
4 Barred Rock
11 layers... 8 brown, 2 green, 1 white
Flock can be increased. Minimum order of chicks is 15. I'm thinking 2 Americauna, 3 Buff Orpingtons, 10 meat birds.
That would put laying flock at end of year:
1 white layer (1+ years)
11 brown layers (8 1+, 3 pullets)
4 green layers (2 1+, 2 pullets)
If I get pullets from June 2 hatching they'd be laying during the solstice lull for the 1+ year olds.

1 brown
Waiting on additional young birds to begin production. At least one of the young Rhode Island Reds or Barred Rocks is laying, since they all hatched at the same time they should be starting to lay as well (3 young RI Reds, 5 young Barred Rock, 2 young Americauna, but since no green eggs the young Americaunas haven't started).
In the coming 2 weeks I expect there will be at least 3 young birds producing, possibly all 10...
