Hi from the PNW, a new chicken keeper!

[kokopelli91]

Hey everyone! New to the forum, I figured I'd introduce myself. We have 10 straight run chicks that are almost 4 weeks old - 3 EEs, 3 BCMs, and 4 Jubilee Orpingtons. We lost our first chick (an EE) today to an unknown cause, I think possibly just failure to thrive - all the others have been growing and this one couldn't find a spot at the water or food even when there was an opening. I'm hoping the rest of them make it through! Here's a picture of our chicks, a few are named so far but not all.

Hi and welcome to BYC! What will you do with the ones who end up being boys? The odds are good that you'll have a few if they were straight run
