Finally a Yard Full of Barreds & Buffs!

The day finally arrived when the remaining Buffs could be added to the already established flock of Barreds. This all started the end of February, 2012 and here it is close to six months later and all the chickens are all together. Wow! We have a lot of chickens. 8 Barreds and 9 Buffs.



They seem to all get along as well as a hens can. Pecka, the rather large Barred hen definitely let the newbies know she rules the roost. At two months behind the Barreds, the Buffs are similar in size but still have that juvenile look about them. It appears they are all going to do just fine!

We are getting 7 eggs a day now from the Barreds. One can definitely appreciate the quality of egg they lay. Fresh eggs actually taste like eggs. I didn't realize what I was getting at the store was so tasteless until now.

I like the contrast in coloring between the two breeds and I am very pleased with their development and dispositions.
