Aye... most of my chooks are Golden Comets, but I also have a couple of Araucanas, a few Barred Rocks, and some Old English Game Bantams. SINSULL, the dozen you received represent that mix. Enjoy them with abandon! An aside-- when I was a bairn, we kept Barred Rocks and Araucanas in a pen that was moved each year to a different fourth of our veggie garden. We threw them food scraps as well as weeds we pulled from among the rows of veggies. Once, after my mother processed and canned a large batch of beets, the chooks were given all the beet peelings. The araucanas laid PINK eggs that week! --Cuilionn
