We have a mixed flock of egg-laying breeds, including 2 Buff Brahma roosters, 2 Ameraucana roosters, 1 Buff-laced Polish rooster, 7 Buff Catalana hens, 7 Barred Rock hens, 7 Ameraucana hens of Assorted colours, 4 Buff Chantecler hens, 1 Black Silkie hen and 6 barnyard mix hens. Some individuals have names, some do not. The main flock have an enclosed yard, but on nice days, I like to let them free-range.

| I love my rainbow eggs. |
 |
| This was supposed to be a hen named "Snow White", but when he turned out to be a rooster, his name was altered to "Snowman". |
 |
| This is my favourite rooster, "Combs". He was a gentle beauty, I miss him. |
 |
| "Easter", an Ameraucana hen who jumps the fence and comes to get me whenever anybody in the coop needs food or water. When I am on my way to the coop, she runs around my feet excitedly chatting. |
 |
| "Brownie" was born in a classroom incubator, but hid a clutch of eggs in a mock orange bush. She was an excellent mother of 17. |
 |
| "Sunshine", a Buff Chantecler, was a science fair experiment, hatched on the kitchen table. |
 |
| "Sunshine" all grown up. |
 |
| I love the polish girls. |
 |
| "Combs" |
 |
| "Jack and Jill" |
