barred rock chicks

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? While we've joked about having our own supply of fresh eggs, we never planned to raise chickens. As of last Friday we're now backyard chicken farmers(well garage, for now)! Here's our timeline: Thu: Our older child's class hatched 6...
