Hello. I'm new.

Hi,
I have just joined today. I've been keeping pekin bantams for the last year (bought from chicks). My 2 hens hatched 6 chicks on good Friday. They are 10 days old now. I'd like to keep them all but i'm not sure what sex they are. Anyway, Hi.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Congratulations on the successful broody hatch! When the chicks are a little older, you can try posting in the What Breed/Gender forum for help with figuring out what you have https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this hope you have lots of girls!

Around 6 weeks you could post photos at "what breed or gender is this." Glad you joined the flock

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! Congrats on your new chicks. In a few weeks when they are older you could post some pics of your chicks in the what breed gender section Kelsie has left you the link.

Wishing you the very best of luck with them all in the future. Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Congratulations on your new chicks! Definitely post in the link provided by Kelsie. Isn't it amazing how fast they grow? Just think, in about 4 months or so, they will be laying eggs for you!

Glad you have joined our flock.

Congratulations on your new baby chicks.

It is expected that 50% can be male, but only time will tell. Do think about what you will do about the roos, just in case. And take the already mentioned advice to post pics when they are older. For now enjoy the wonders of nature!
