'Hi everyone, my husband Bill and I bought 8 baby chicks at the beginning of June. It's funny how you can read and read to try to sex your new babies but nothing is 100% accurate - until the chicken either crows or lays an egg!
Never the less, we are enjoying our new additions here in NY.
Over the past several weeks we have had many questions and this site has always been there with answers. What else is there to do than to join this group
We have one crowing Barred Rock alreadyand possibly a mimicking RIR hen. So.. Clarice is now Clarence lol. Unfortunately, we can't keep him.
It's funny how life has changed for us over the years. My husband never wanted a big dog, then we had a golden retriever. Now he loves big dogs. He never wanted cats, now we have a cat. He never wanted chickens, etc... well I'm sure you can finish how that went. He never wanted roosters either. He's ready to move so we can have them
.
Anyway, I can smell breakfast.... I better get posting. Looking forward to future chats/posts.

The RIR is likely a cockerel too!

Come see us on the social threads! We love to talk about chickens and life there
