Hi all, just wanted to post an intro. I'm Rachel and this is my first year with chickens (I have laying hens? 7 weeks old). 2 silver- laced wyandottes, 2 ameraucanas, and 4 black australorps. My husband and 2 children and I crack up at the ladies' antics! Happy to be here.

Hello! Welcome to BYC!

Females under the age of one year are considered pullets, even when laying, and once they reach one year then they are considered hens.

Thanks! I have a lot to learn but so far so good!

It's great that the entire family is enjoying your pullets. Hope they lay lots of eggs when the time comes. Welcome to BYC.
