I thought I would start a my flock thread, so here it goes.
My very first chicken was Mister doodle, a Light Sussex Cockerel. Great choice, I know, starting with a 6 month old cockerel, but it actually worked out great!
He is now around 2 and a half years old.
On the same day we got him (but a bit later in the day) we got two Cuckoo Orpington pullets.
One isn't around anymore (she sadly got water belly at only around a year old) but the other is one of my favorite hens
I then got a pair of RIR pullets, but only have one now.
She is a good hen, and one of the only ones that don't go broody all the time.
And than the last of the grown birds I got, were two Sussex pullets, one Light
and one Coronation
That is all of the chickens that I had for the first half a year of chicken keeping.
