Hi Chicken People

We are new chicken people from MD, flock of 5 and coop almost finished. Looking forward to learning more (like, for example, What are these chickens that we got from the Meyers Female Brown Layer Assortment? and Seriously, are these two even hens?!)

Welcome to Backyard Yard chickens. If you post some clear photos we'd take a shot at guessing what you have.

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! X2 some clear pics would be great for helping you at identifying your birds. Congrats on getting your chicken adventures underway

You have certainly come to the right place for all the learning. Have you checked out the learning centre? Lots of super articles on all aspects of keeping poultry. Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center

Wishing you the very best of luck in the future and enjoy BYC

Hi Chicken Friends,
I don't have enough posts to put the pics in this thread, so I put them in my profile. We got 5 chicks from Meyers on April 15th, supposed to be brown egg layers. All of them have done well and are healthy. YAY! Millie is clearly a Buff Brahma and Amy a RIR, I think. We also got three yellow chicks. Marcia has always been smaller, more curious and was the first to get her feathers. I'm pretty confident she is a she, I'm guessing a White Rock? Heidi and Clementine are another matter. Clementine (Clem?) was so named because her feet and legs were very orange when she was a chick. Now they are yellow. She is large and was the last to get feathers, has a very large pink comb and waddles. Her tail is still stubby. Heidi (Heinrich?) has always been a dumpling. She got feathers pretty much in sync with Marcia, but got pink comb and waddles right alongside Clem. I don't know about her. Clem and Heidi seem way more similar than Marcia. Don't know if the three white ones are different breeds or the same breeds and a mix of roos and pullets or what! They are funny, though, and I love all of their different personalities.

Although we can't have roosters in Baltimore and we'd miss Clem and Heidi, we do have a friend outside of the city that would like to have them, so I'm not particularly worried, just curious.

Best,
Holly
