Happy to find you all

[Snilref]

Hello everybody. I'm new to chickens, but I'm so glad I found you. My wife got 9 chickens and a coop from a friend who was moving and couldn't take it all with him. I'm not sure what breeds they are or how to find out yet, but I do know that they aren't particularly healthy. It looks like they've pecked each other quite a bit, so some are missing feathers. So we have some work to do. We've only had them a few days, but I can see that they're already great to have around.

Welcome to the flock! Feel free to post pictures! There are alot of amazing people here that can tell you what breeds they are or help with what might be beneficial to them for their health.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Congrats on your new flock! Make sure they have plenty of space, you might get them on probiotics or a good vitamin supplement like Poultry Cell. Check them over for mites or lice too. And let them relax a bit.
