Finally getting around to introducing myself

[Moazra4]

Hi all! I’m new to chickens, but have been lurking around for a while, reading and learning. I felt like I should finally introduce myself! I’m originally from West Virginia, but now live in Oregon. I have four kids, and we just got 5 chicks. I’ve been wanting some for a long time, but we were finally able to get some! - a barred rock, bantam Cochin, Easter Egger, silver laced Wyandotte, and an unknown “chipmunk chick”. I want to thank you all for sharing your knowledge, and I look forward to learning more, and enjoying life with chickens!

Thank you! They range from 3 to 5ish weeks

Are they free range or in a run? Are you hoping for eggs or meat? Do they have names yet?

They will be in a run for the most part. We’ll let them roam free in the yard while we’re out there. We’re in city limits and don’t have a huge lot. Our hope is for eggs. I’m very excited for that! Their names are Karen, Cleo, Tiffany, Barbara, and Sassy
