Hello from Utah

Thank you! I love that I can ask stuff like that and not feel stupid. I bought six "pullets" in hopes that 4 actually wind up being female. I figured the store doesn't truly know yet.
 
Welcome to BYC - sex links are colored differently by gender - you will have six pullets.

Hope that I did not jinx you. I would guess that your chicks are somewhat less than a week old.

HAHAHAH as I end up with six roos... I'd gladly have six layers. I can't believe how addicting these little girls are. I dreamt all night that I went and got more! Six is what my city zoning allows though.
 
Welcome to BYC! I love how you are having dreams about chickens.. hee hee hee! I always have dreams about my chickens, especially the ones that I've incubated and hatched myself and baby chicks. I always have a bunch all over the place in my dreams and I'm always paranoid that people are going to hurt them or steal them... I'm nuts!! I got some red sexlink pullet chicks a few weeks ago.. But I got whatever was left in the tub.. 47.. I only went in intending to get 2 dozen.. But coming out with 4 dozen was alright too. :) I am glad that there are no restrictions where I live. :)
 
I'm another that has to warn about pet vs chick contact. A dog or cat can get a chick in the blink of an eye and kill it that fast. The most common thing greeters on this thread are faced with is: "my dogs just massacred all my chicks." Or the cat ran off with some." It is very hard to experience this from new members most of the day, day after day. So please bear with our cautions. You never hear about tiny chicks assaulting housepets and killing them.

Thanks. I trust my dogs and supervised them. They need to learn that the chickens aren't something to chase so we don't have that problem when the chicks move outside to the coop. I promise I was right there supervising.

Also if it helps make everyone feel better, the dog wanted out! Haha. All chicks are doing fine. The dogs go in with me to supervise but chicks are left alone and aren't all that interesting to the muttley crew after only two days.
