So excited to be a part of the chicken raising community! We've had our 5 chicks for about 1-1/2 weeks now: 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, and 1 Amerucana (at least that's what we think - the sign at the store said Amerucanas and Araucanas). They are already starting to develop little personalities and are growing so fast! We're also in the process of building our coop - 1 weekend down and hopefully just 1-2 more weekends to go!
and Welcome To BYC! Congratulations on your new chicks, sounds like you will have a cute little flock! And good luck with the coop build, hope the weather cooperates! Be sure to check out the BYC Learning Center, lots of nice articles on all aspects of poultry keeping you might find useful
