Hey there!

[Kate89]

Hey I am new here
My family just bought our first baby chicks on the 30th of April and we have been excitedly watching them grow!
We bought 12 days old from a local farmer unsexed

they are Rhode Island reds mixed with isa browns
Not sure exactly what that means I have been doing a bit of research but honestly it is over whelming
We have 6 white colour ones and 6 brown ones
We are so curious to see if they turn out to be hens or roosters
Just by a little research I unfortunately think the majority of them are roosters lol

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad to meet you.
Yes, there are a lot of boys.
You can remove the heat lamp. They are fully feathered and they don't need it.
