I cant believe your buff orpington only lays 3 eggs week? she must be very old!
my buffs lay an egg every day! an sometime they lay 2 eggs. I have had other breeds but nothing lays as many eggs like orpingtons!
if you want fryer’s fast get white rock hens and a red cornish ruster .you get rock cornish hen’s which are male and females. in 6 week’s you get huge fryer’s if you let them go longer you get huge roster’s.the little one’s you get in the store are only a couple week’s old.
Hey Gary thanks for the post. You are one of the first youtubers that answered a question of mine concerning chickens a while back. I just created a playlist on my channel and this was the first video entry in the list. Hopefully I will start raising chickens in the spring. Have a great Thanksgiving.

we have 7hens and a rooster. i get 5 eggs daily. rhode island reds and isa-which is some kind of a mix. the rooster is rhode island red. we also have rabbits one buck and two ladies. havent mated them yet i will in feb. and i plan to hatch about 25 baby chicks in feb. and butcher them in oct. and should get about 4 rounds of rabbit breeding before next winter hits. got to get meat for the winter.. also husband deer hunts. good vids and god bless–mrs.cntrshot
Rabbits would be fun. Not sure if I could butcher a chicken or rabbit. How many you thinking about getting? 1 male 3 females to start.
you know what? I don’t think so. I only ever got brown eggs from Hank. So it must lay brown eggs.
thanks garry 🙂
Nice, so the brown leghorns still lay white eggs?
I cut the grass in the spring and fall and put it in the garden, in between I mulch it. The chickens would not be able to keep up with this amount of land. Keep in mind they do not jsut eat grass, but they also dig and scratch for bugs and grit.
Not yet, I want to get rabbits, but I cannot think of a spot for them
I am planning on getting some next spring, once you start you can’t stop!
we have brown leghorns and rhode reds with a couple wyandotte hens
whitelayhorne – thanks
im hoping to get 3 chickens next year, thanks for the heads up.
just out of curiosity – do you have to cut the grass that the chickens use or do they keep it down for you? thanks brother
take care

Very nice setup.. Any other types of animals yet? No Turkeys for thanksgiving.
lol yeah we get our -45 degree days and did i mention SNOW LOTS OF IT.but it is nice way up here.
I have leghorns and they are egg laying machines.
meh…not bad i guess. 😀
:)
I have Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orphingtons , and a couple of Auracaunas (I like the green eggs)
I really like the orpingtons, barred rock, and rhode island reds. I’ve never owned a leg horn. Might have to try it sometime. Although I prefer brown egg layers.
that poor little white bird, that egg was huge.
The exact same 3 breeds that I would pick!
that sounds very boring. Fresh backstrap and farm fresh eggs with home made bisquits. I am quite sure that it doesn’t get any better.
Ah, so you know real cold then.
i got some chicks for you .fall crop
