Hi all - I have been doing my research on this site for quite some time and just brought home my first flock today! They are 5-ish week old silkies ... not sure if they need a bath or are just going through an awkward phase. ha ha. I've learned so much from this site already, but welcome any advice as a new chicken mom :)

Pretty young birds, I like how they're all different colors. I always think of them as going through their teenage phase at this point :p

Hope you have hours of enjoyment with them. Thank you for joining us!
