I just saw this thread.
Another chicken lover here.
I have Barnevelders, some commercial layers, pekins, bantam langshans, a silkie, an aracana and an Indian Game rooster.
I also have an incubator and at the moment am hatching about 40 eggs per month.
We eat the boys and sell the girls once they get to point of lay.
I used to have horses, now my passion is chooks LOL
