Hello, totally new to chickens, just got myself 5 today at the feed store. Been wanting to have them forever and I finally gave in. Brand new chicks
1 Barred Rock- poor thing is already getting picked on.
2 Rhode Island Red
2 Ameraucana- Didn't realize there was different kinds.... Not sure which one.
You'll find lots of info in the Learning Centre - https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center and if you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.
! Pleased you joined us! Look like you took the poultry plunge. CTKen gave you some great research links - study up on them and heed their advice and you will be a great chicken mom. Best of luck to you and your flock and thanks for joining BYC!!
As you have already received some great advice and links, I will just wish you and your adorable little ones all the best.
I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends
