Ok, I've been hustling all day and rehomed the boys! The white one is my daughter's favorite, so I found him a forever home on a farm of a friend. The barred and 2 blacks ones...we just did an hour each way road trip to a country store that houses roosters.
Phew! What a day!
Woke up this morning to FOUR of my 7 "hens" crowing, LOL. We live in a no-rooster ordinance area, so I have to rehome them ASAP. I don't know exactly the breed, they were mystery chickens donated to my children's school as eggs. Pretty sure they are Australorps though. We are in East Hope...

1. Any ideas what to...

That's me being very bad at math, lol. The kids don't remember when they hatched. They came home June 9th, but we're hatched sometime between end of April, beginning of May.
Hi. Brand new to raising chickens, this is our first flock. The first week of May eggs were donated to my kid's classrooms to hatch them at school. We got 7 of the chickens. The farm that donated the eggs has dozens of breeds and had no info on the chicks.
We love ALL of them, but live in no...
