First time chicken farmer

[AmesAcres]

My fiancé and I now have 9 week old chickens of mixed breeds. 10 in total.

Fairly sure we have two RIR roosters out of our four RIRs. Three buff Orpington hens, two amberlink hens and one hen that we’re not quite sure of the breed, but boy does she love to roost!

Recently finished a large attached run covered with netting, which they love!

Enjoying the process and excited to hear everyone else’s experience and look forward to learning more from each of you!

Congratulations on your new chicks! If one does end up being a cockerel will you be able to keep it?
