Hi all. I'm really new to raising and keeping chickens but so far I'm really enjoying it. Currently we have 4 Ameraucanas, 3 Barred Rocks (one is our rooster), 2 Rhode Island reds, and a mix of 3 day old chicks(bantams, giant cochins, speckled sussex). I had no idea how much personality a chicken could have. I swear they are like my kids lol. I hope everyone is having as much fun with their chicks as we are.
 
Welcome! They are so fun, I don't think people realize how fun until they become chicken owners! I have 5 1-year olds, one is a very good rooster, and I have 3 5-wk olds which I will probably integrate when they are almost the same size as my pullets. They are our kids too! Have fun!

Sounds like you have some lovely breeds! I have a speckled sussex as well. I really like her personality and colors as I'm sure you do as well with yours.

My speckled Sussex are only a week old so I've got a bit to wait for their beautiful colors but I'm excited about it already. My oldest chickens are 7 weeks old. I'm pretty sure I've got two rosters, one is a barred rock and the other is ameraucana. The barred rock we're calling Christopher Sqwalken and he's such a sweet boy.
