Hello everyone. I'm a first time chicken momma I have a small yard in a city urban/suburban area in NYC. I have my first 5 baby chicks a week old. I have 2 double laced barnevelders 2 silver laced wyandottes and one golden laced polish. I'm already so in love... flood me with any and all advice.
Thanks in advance.
 
Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Congrats on your new little flock! Have you stopped by our Learning Center yet? Lots of great articles on all the aspects of keeping chickens here. And if you still have questions feel free to ask around the forums. Welcome aboard! :)
Thanks for the reply and the link. I'm just so excited. Have been poring over the info on here fo weeks but finally joined since I now actually own chicks lol
 
Welcome to BYC! Congrats on your first flock! Chickens are a lot of fun. It is exciting to get that first egg, too.

I raise chickens in city limits, but it doesn't look too city-ish here, it feels kind of country like (no neighbors directly next door or behind us).
I'm probably the most excited human ever right now. Its definitely a city where I am but I'm hoping my girls are well behaved and I can bribe the neighbors with eggs when they come lol.
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
Are chickens permitted in the area you live?
Hi. Thanks for the welcome. Hens are legal in New York City however roosters are not, so I'm hoping and praying all my chicks are sexed properly and I don't end up with an accidental roo. The suspense is killing me. I have been talking to them all week asking them to please not betray me. (I'm hoping this works lol just kidding)
 
Here is a picture of my chicks
