Hi, new to the forum

[Kat2141]

hi all, I'm new to the forum and sort of new to the chicken world. I got 6 red sex-link chicks last year, sadly lost 2 of them to foxes this year. Just had 11 chicks hatch out of eggs that I got from another lady. I don't know what these are - I know the rooster she had was a Black Langshan but she had several different breeds of hens.

I found Backyard Chickens a while back but just read the forums, never posted. With these new chicks that just hatched, I had to come on and share their story (two of the hens sat on the eggs, hatched them out and are sharing care).

We have a dog and 2 horses that the chickens share the barn with.

I look forward to meeting others here.

Thank you, I just put 2 pics of them there too. I can't wait to see how these chicks will look as they grow.
