Hello!

[Jenthehen127]

Hi! I am brand new to raising chickens! I've wanted them for years, but we finally started our first flock! 4 Australorps! Hopefully, all pullets, as advertise! Starting small, but I'm sure our flock will expand a bit after we get going. I handle the chicks daily and amazing hoping they will get used to me that way. They are a week to 10 days old, I believe. They will be "the girls" to us, so just egg layers, no meat birds. So excited to get the coop going!

Hello there Jen and welcome to BYC!

You are going to love your Australorps! My all time favorite breed, they are very weather and health hardy, great layers, super friendly and docile. No flock is complete without Aussies!!

Enjoy this new adventure and welcome to our community!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I have found that the chicks personalities start to change when they come into POL.
