first year chicken guy

[john jack]

I started having chickens a year ago , it was such a reward of happines that decided to expand with welsummer, buff orpinton, black giants and australorp chicks . I plan to sale pullets hatchs my own eggs. This is going to my adventure that I hope makes people who get my new chicks n pullets happy. Its such a joy see how much my chicken and chicks appreciate me when Im just hanging around them

I put my little four week old chicks out in thier coup. all is going well they play like a bunchs of soccer players trying to see who can get the worm or piece of grass to the goalline . They are so darn cute and intertaining. I watch them for a half hour. Tomorrow I will be starting all over again I have more little ones going to hatch and I love it. I got everything ready to go and I will be Daddy hen again LOL

So awesome! I am new to this as well. So fun to have chickens! I loved it as a kid. Now as an adult I think I appreciate it so much! and when they give me eggs I thank them each and every time! Love those little chickies!

Another "newbie" here. Never had any kind of fowl, before. We just bought a bunch of chicks, and two turkeys. Not certain on all of the breeds. Some are the hybrid black sex-links. A couple of Australorps, and others that I'm not sure the guy at Atwoods who sold them to us, knew their breed. Most everything seemed to be mis-marked, with the exceptions of the two I mentioned. I am here to learn, so, I'll likely be asking a bunch of questions, in the near future.
Thanks, BYC, for being a great resource.

Its been rewarding watching my five wk old chicks grow while in their new coup and run area. they are all heathy which makes things easier cause I not fighting some unknown disease. After my last hatching I have a tolal number of seventy one chicks from the ages of five days to five wks. The enjoyment continues and I recommend chikens and chicks because of their diverse personality and the rewards they give back to their owner.
