Morning ALL!
I know Y'all are very familiar with chickens but I saw this and hoped it will help if anyone decided to have a mixed flock.
I do have to have give bad news- my fresh made pot of coffee is already gone so hopefully another member wakes up and has a fresh pot for Y'all.
Later this morning I'm going to a paint party- IT'S A CERAMICS PAINT PARTY so I'm very excited and yes once I get my projects painted I'll take pictures even though they may not be posted until tomorrow. I love going to these kinds of party seeing how they are on a farm which is more like a homestead but it's way out in the country (35 minutes to get there) and spotty cell signal so I won't be bothered by useless town stuff. I'm more at home in the country then living in a town or city and feel very relaxed when I'm there.

I have had all those breeds. I recommend the Barred Rocks for someone starting out. The 2 top hens in my little flock were pals to our Jack Russell terrier, going mouse nest hunting with her. I handled them often as chicks, so they would interact with us almost like puppies.

My Barred Rocks were good to give a few winter eggs while others shut down totally. I don't use lights, so volunteer layers 
friendly by nature.
It's hot tea this morning -- in the mood for that. Outside in short order to figure best way to pen 4 goats I want to go to auction. Light sprinkly rains going on
may be good -- or bad -- let you know later. 
Bottles warmed for the 3 kids, better get a move on before the days is gone. The penning part will be enough challenge for the week. 
these ones anyway.

I’m running the air conditioner here. Had to turn it on a few days ago. It’s FEBRUARY! Cooler weather is coming back on Monday. I’ll turn off the AC.

AC here too. We're headed for the mid 80's again today. Cool front needs to come on!
