Hello Chicken Friends!

[Cinnaminute]

Thanks very much everyone and happy to meet you all!

Welcome to the BYC family!
Beware...chicken wire is not predator proof.
Invest in 1/2 inch hardware cloth if possible.

Thanks so so much for the suggestion! I read about the hardware cloth only very recently and intend on buying. Right now they are kept indoors in an actual building so nothing can get to them, but when the coop is finished they'll be outside permanently. For now they go in a chicken wire area that I let them play in on cool days and I sit about 2ft away on my bench to supervise. Again, thank you so much for the advice!

Hello and welcome to BYC!
I might also mention I don't think you have EEs.

I've been a little suspicious about that! They look a lot like Welsummers and I've heard TSC isn't the most reliable on getting the breed/gender you're supposed to. But I'm no expert so I thought they might've just been a very peculiar EE mix!

Post here to ask about the breeds of your chickens.

Hello there cinnaminute welcome here, great intro. Your flock are beautiful birds can't wait till you get eggs. I also don't think they're EE's. Hope they are all girls at least. Enjoy them, and good job for reading ahead if getting them
