Hello there and welcome to BYC!

How nice of you to take in these babies! You might want to stop by our learning center for lots of tips and hints on raising your new chicks, building the coop, caring for them as adults and keeping them happy, healthy and safe from predators...https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center

As for the breed and sex, you will need to wait until they grow up a bit. In a few weeks you can post pics in our What Breed and Gender section for help with breeds and sexes....https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Enjoy this new journey you are on! If you have any questions about your chicks, feel fee to ask around our forums.

Welcome to our flock!

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! How nice of you take these chicks in when they needed it. Certainly drop by the learning centre that TwoCrows has left for you.
This is also a nice article on taking care of chicks https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/raising-chicks-artificially

Good luck with your new babies I'm sure you are going to thoroughly enjoy raising them. It's very rewarding and lots of fun.

Welcome to backyard chickens. Sorry I don't know what they are from a picture of the chick's back. How old are they? Do you have a brooder and heat lamp set up for them?

 

[steph22]

Yep they have a nice little place to stay with water foid heat lamp etc until i can get construction of the coop done i think their red sex links but im not positive and i dont know how old they are i got them on the 16th so i know their over 2 weeks but otherwise im clueless as to how old they are exactly
