Hellooo new chick owner here!

[mommyem]

Hi everyone. I've been reading all the forums for awhile now gleaning information and learning! My babies just arrived this morning from mypetchicken. I ordered a buff orpington, a lavender Orpington, a golden laced Wyandotte, a cream legbar and a double laced barnvelder.

I don't think we received the barnvelder so maybe someone can help me identify my babies.

My daughter is building an adaptation of the palace coop and it will be ready soon. Looking forward to learning so much more from all of you. I've attached the pics we took today (yes, we had a chick photo shoot!)
