Default Chickens....and more chickens

Yesterday morning I had 6 chickens, then in the evening my neighbor come over and asks if we want her two roosters and one chicken so I said yes. then my daughter calls from tractor supply telling me they have chicks.....so she buys 6. We had 6 leghorns to begin with (classic white chicken with red comb) now we have 2 bantam roosters and one bantam hen, black with white marks, actually kind of cool looking. Our new ones are 2 Rhode Island reds, and 4 Americana's.. the RIRs should lay brown eggs and the Americanas will lay green or blue I guess depending on their mood or ???. Should be about 6 months before the babies are old enough to start laying and our leghorns are pretty old so we only get one or two eggs a day now. Just thought Id share.
