I bought 3 chicks about a month and half ago and have been doing lots of research for months now. Almost every time I type something into google I end up on this website so finally I said, wait a minute, why don't I just join??? I'm excited to pack my brain with all of the info you all have provided. This is my first time raising chickens and I have been loving every step of it so far!
Congrats on your first flock! What breed(s) of chicks do you have? Have you checked out the Learning Center yet? There are a lot of helpful articles in there on all sorts of topics. https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center If you have questions, always feel free to ask. Thanks for joining us!
I have two Speckled Sussex, one of which I think may be a male, and one Silver Laced Wyandotte. I'm trying to figure out the sex of the Wyandotte since it is about four days younger than the other two. I got them when they were a few days old and have been watching them grow for the last five-ish weeks. It's so exciting I love having them! I didn't read that article yet but am going to now that I know about it, thank you!
