Hi! New Chicken Flock owner!

[VintageDutchGirl]

Been lurking awhile, gleaning wonderful bits of advice for caring for our new flock of 7 chickens!

2 RIR's, 10 weeks old
2 Easter eggers (we think), 10 weeks old
3 "Ameracauna".....or Easter eggers, unsure if they are true Ameracaunas or not, 5 weeks old.

Currently converting back 1/4 of our large shed into a raised coop with outdoor biosecure run and optional additional daytime "playground" by the compost.

Our older chicks are currently in a tractor outside, the 5 weekers are in the garage in a large brooder. Trying to get coop done before integrating the 2 groups...hoping a new territory for all at the same time will decrease any bullying from the older chicks.

Welcome to BYC!
Good luck on the integration.

This video should help you find your way around this site better:

You can expect those chicks to be Easter Eggers. But, if you want to find out what you have breed/gender post photos at "what breed or gender is this."

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! Good luck with plans for the shed, it's always good when things can be reused. I hope you are able to get everyone together and living in harmony.

Enjoy your time here on BYC and all the chicken chat

I might have to do that, our older chicks are 10 weeks old, and I need to know if they are pullets or Roos. We can't have roosters in our city limits!
