Do you have birds yet or are you still researching?

Thanks! I do have chickens already. 45 to be exact. The chickens came with the house we bought. I don't remember the breeds, but there are 3 kinds.

Wow! Quite the project for a beginner, but at least they're already well established. Good luck with your flock.

You're welcome. If you will post pics of your birds on our What Breed or Gender is This? section in Other Backyard Poultry under the Forum at the top of the page, our experts there can probably identify your breeds for you. Full body profiles will work best.

I started my first flock with 7 chicks and was overwhelmed...hats off to you with your 45! If you have questions, always feel free to ask. There's a ton of information available and a lot of helpful, friendly members.

It's nice to have you here!
