a.) what kind of chickens do you have?

austalorps, barred rock, buff opingtons, Black Copper Marans, americaunas (poss. easter eggers, don't know), RIR, thinking about getting some silver sebright eggs next year.

b.) do you keep them for meat? eggs? both? strictly entertainment?
eggs, entertainment, bugs,

c.) where do you live (what state, province, country)?
S CA

d.) why did you chose this type chicken?
buffs/australorps b/c they are great layers, easy going, quiet. RIR b/c I thought they were Buffs when I got them at the feedstore. Barred rock and BCM b/c that was the kind of fertile eggs I could find this year for my broodies. Americauna b/c my clients want the blue eggs. LOVE the BCM eggs. Stunning!
