Hello!

My family and I purchased 6 pullets on fathers day. I am not sure how old they were, but they were all fuzzy still. I am also un aware of the type of chickens they are. The feed store classified them as: 2 reds, 2 yellows, and 2 blacks.

We are thrilled to be on this journey and have been looking forward to owning our own laying hens for a couple of years. I am going to take pictures of my girls this evening and post them for everyone. Maybe then I can get an idea of what type of chickens I might have.

Right now we keep them inside the garage while we are building their run and coop. It is so hot here right now (above 102 degF) that I think they are better off in the garage with the AC.

I am so glad I foung this forum and look forward to sharing our adventures in chicken hood with you all!

Hi I got my chicks on fathers day as well. Although they really weren't for my husband more for me. I also live in california and dealing with the extreme heat. I am currently building my coop. I moved my chicks out side into a temporary set up I think it was about 2 weeks ago when the temps weren't so extreme. That way they could adjust to it a little easier. I also put frozen 2 litter bottles in with them when they are locked up (what I do for my rabbits as well) they like to stand on them. Most of the time they have free range over our yard and find shade and damp dirt that they like to dig in to keep cool. Where in Cali are you? I'm in bakersfield
