Since a few are having fun with the chicken chatter I thought I'd expand on the photo above. The one with the feathery feet is a black Cochin, the horizontal, black and whites are Barred Rocks (also known as Plymouth Barre Rocks), a popular, cold weather, north American breed. The tan are buff Orpingtons. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGK/Orps/BRKOrps.html All lay brown eggs.

Chickens are omnivores, so we can bring all our "less than perfect" produce (read anything that's not moldy) and refrigerator "over the hill" leftovers and the chickens will spit eggs like crazy!
