Hi all,

We just got our first chicks this past Thursday. We started with 15 chicks but we’ve lost two. It makes me so sad! We also have a little girl who is having some pain in her leg and doesn’t get around much. I’m not sure what to do with her (any suggestions appreciated).

We have silver laced and golden laced wyandottes, americanas, tetra Browns, buff Orpington and australorps.

I live on 20 acres with my husband and our three kids (2 girls, 1 boy), and our two dogs. The guys like motor sports and us girls like animals. Hoping to have more variety (of species) in the future.
 
Welcome to BYC! Sorry for the loss of your two chicks. Sadly that is just something that happens oftentimes when you are new to raising chickens. Sorry not sure what to say about the injured chick you mentioned, I recommend writing a separate post about that. You have to learn the hard way as you go, but soon you will be a chicken expert before you know it! Good luck to you and the rest of your chicks and enjoy your time at BYC (AKA Backyard Chickens):)
