I’m a new mother hen 🐣

[Ariggs29]

Hey everyone!
I got my bantam chicks in the mail on March 20th (hatched March 18th) this is my first time ever caring for chickens and it started out quite rocky (lost 4 of the 6 one right after the other) But I have 2 very tough and spunky chicks right now that I adore. I purchase “purebred assortment bantams” but I think they are white old English.

they currently live in the garage and I started clearing a space in the yard for them today. I have fun watching and learning their personalities. They are intended for pets and eggs. Possibly breeding in the future. Ive recently started gardening as well, trying to live a more sustainable life style. I found BYC on more than one google search so I figured I better just join!

Today I just got a local guys info who’s had show birds and just good quality Old English in all different colors I’m going to contact him tomorrow and see if he has any that are close to the 4 week mark as well.

Hello and Welcome to BYC! Precious chicks. Very sorry for your loss.

I have 2 OEGB left since they are so independent they don't want to stay in their enclosure. But I love them dearly.
