Well I will post a couple of photos of my 5 year old flock of 3, They are large bantys, the kind that lay blue colored eggs, can't remember how to spell their kind , The rooster and one hen are mostly black, the other hen is brown. They just finished molting in early Nov. They were all three shut up in the chicken house all of Dec. because it was so cold. Just started laying again a week or so ago. I don't think the brown hen lays eggs, but can't be sure, as don't have time to check very often. The eggs are the size of what you buy when you buy small eggs. So if I am making something that says use 2 egg, I just use three. But usually I keep their eggs for eating and buy eggs for cooking.

They were so happy when I let them out of the chicken house early this week. But I may have to shut the door again, as it is pretty cold outside right now. Anyway here are a couple of pictures of my flock. The rooster and the hen outside in the scratch yard.
