I'm brand new to raising chicks.  It's not been the greatest experience so far.  I picked my 4 baby chicks in May, 2023.  Within 6 hours  my Buff Orpington passed away.  I had an Americana, Bardrock and Salmon Favorelle left.  I decided to purchase 2 more Buff Orpingtons.  The Americana turned out to be a rooster.  I didn't Want a rooster but decided to see how it went. Recently my Salmon Favorelle's face was mutilated and she passed away.  Then one of my Buff Orpingtons neck was raw and bloody.  I isolated her.  I'm out at their run 3 to 4 times daily and have a camera inside and outside of their house.  I don't know when this happened but I witnessed the rooster grabbing my Bardrock by the neck and now he has a new home!  So now I only have 3 hens.  
I really enjoy all my animals. I have 2 cats and a Sheltie (dog). And now I'm a chicken mom. I love animals! I wish I could have a donkey but no room.
I enjoy woodworking. Especially with my husband. I also enjoy crocheting, reading my bible or bible commentaries and church.
Since I'm so new to raising chickens I really appreciate all of you and your help.
Thank You so Much!
