Our little mixed flock is 7 weeks old now so I'm wondering what we can find out about them. We know that Cleo is a female Welsummer & Kali is a female Black Star, but the others are mixed breeds. Sue is our hardest one to figure out - she (he?) was sold as a Golden Comet, but has the...

I know the picture quality isn't great, because it's the IR night cam in our brooder, but my sweet brave Cleo is sleeping on the perch, watching over her flock-mates. :love I had to share with people who understand how much I love this girl.

We got a mixed batch of 6 day-old chicks including one "Golden Comet" named Sue that we've since been told is a Faverolle mix. The farm was sure she was a Golden Comet, so I'm thinking that's the mama hen's breed and that a Faverolle rooster fathered this little one. Now we're trying to figure...

We're completely new to raising chickens. We have a mixed flock of 6 chicks that we got last weekend & I noticed that Darling (our Lavender Orpington) has a gap in her wing feathers.

We just got our new chicks today! There's a Golden Comet (Genreal Tsu AKA Sue), a Welsummer (Cleo), a Lavender Orpington (Darling), a Black Sex-link (Kali), and 2 different Easter Egger mixes (Blondie & Coo). Hopefully they're all girls because as you can see, we've already gotten attached. :D

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We've had ducks before, but this will be our first time with chickens. We're supposed to be getting our chicks on June 7th (we're on a waiting list for a local hatchery). (2) How many chickens do you have right now? None yet, but...
