The 2 chicks pictured are very cute, thanks for the pictures. Have you been to the Learning Center yet? There are a lot of very good articles on all sorts of poultry topics: https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. There is a ton of information available and lots of friendly members.
Your babies are adorable. What part of Ca? If you type in your area (No Cal, Central, OC, etc) you'll find local threads for fellow BYC keepers near you. Best of luck!
What a warm and and wonderful welcome - Thank you all so much! I'm in Northern Central CA. I have 3 Americauna's (a blondy and two beautiful black/brown hens with beautiful markings, and 3 RIR's.
I have visited the Learning Center, but have a lot more of it to see. It's so nice to have a great community and resource to rely on for sound advice and great ideas; thank you! Many of my neighbors have chickens, so I'm doubly blessed where I am!
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here and learning from you.
