Began my "new hobby career" back in the summer of 2017 - I started with 7 girls... 2 passed away about 3 months later... Brahma Mama was 7, so I believe she may have passed of old age... I cried - She was so sweet... my other just dropped at the water feeder... we think she might have choked! I cried....
I have 2 Speckled Sussex (Hussie and Sussie), 1 RI (RI), 1 totally white girl (Leghorn) which I think is what she is... and another one that I don't know what type... (Bossy) I have just acquired 2 more girls... another RI (Junie) and ISA Brown (Shoonie)....
It's been a little tough these last few days... getting that pecking stuff out of the way, but they seem to be adjusting... I am learning quite a bit from this website... I'm such a newbie...
But, I will get better - I love my girls... It is so therapeutic for me... Never thought I would be a chicken mama, but here I am loving it!!!!
We have a mouser cat that stays outside... she seems to be the guard... a wonderful dog name Roxy... My coop will hold about 12 girls... I do not have a rooster...

Sorry to hear about your losses-it's never easy to lose a loved flock member.:hugs

I have a Speckled Sussex too; they sure are spunky, beautiful birds! It sounds like you are enjoying your flock! They certainly are very entertaining and therapeutic. Feel free to ask any questions you have, now that you've joined our community. We are happy to help.

Enjoy your flock and welcome to ours!
 
You are doing great with your chickens!
