Hi! New to chickens in AZ

[inkipinkiblinki]

Hi all! This is my intro post, I got 4 chicks about 2 weeks ago and they're growing fast. I realize I'll need some support and help and info resources, and found this board. My chicks are a black austalorp (Mojo Jojo), rhode island red )Blossom), olive egger (Buttercup) and what should be a buff orpington (Bubbles). I'm currently wondering if she was in the wrong bin I'm also wondering if she's a he, but without knowing the correct breed it's harder to determine. She is always landing on our heads trying to fly around, getting into trouble. The weather here has been beautiful for them to peck around in the grass, but too cool in the evening so they're still inside. They're getting too big to be inside, working on the next stage.

Welcome to BYC! Beautiful chicks! I purchased 2 Buff Orpingtons as chicks and named them Buffy and Ophelia. Well they turned out to be Brahmas! They must have gotten into the "wrong bin" as you say! (To be fair, they were fluffy and yellow like Orpington chicks. )

Very nice birds also and very large! I finally did get my share of Buff Orpingtons and they were great too!

Welcome to BYC! I love the Powerpuff names! Its a bit early to tell if Bubbles is a he but some females do get larger combs early. Keep us updated with pictures and we will try and help.
