Hello there!

[Sarah47]

I live in central Connecticut. I recently got a surprise box from Cackle Hatchery containing 49 chicks and 3 ducks! I now have to figure out what I have!

You're gonna need a really, really big brooder for them. Then when they are 6 weeks old you can take pictures of all of them and post at "what breed or gender is this?" It will keep them busy for weeks.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Wow, lots of babies!

It must be like Christmas at your house!

Enjoy all your little ones. If you have any questions along the way, feel free to ask.

Make yourself at home here and welcome to our flock!

Thanks so much! I've raised chicks before, but never this many at one time! It certainly is fun!

Here's one of my chicks. Not sure if it's male or female, but it sure is cute!

Goodness, that's a lot! We don't even have that many birds total: chickens, ducks, and chicks.

Well, welcome to BYC! And good luck!

I also have an older flock of chickens. 4 Barred Rocks, 7 Easter Eggers( These girls are all 4 years old!) I also have 5 mix breed chickens(2 years old) and 2 Dorkings and three more mix breed hens( 1 year old) and I bought 6 Golden Comet chicks from Tractor Supply( They're only 4 months old)
And I also have 5 Khaki Cambell Ducks! They're 1 1/2 years old.
And I have meat rabbits as well!

I'm taking over my parents backyard!
