Hello! I'm new here :) We are new chicken owners as if a few weeks ago! We have 7 chicks right now. 1 Wheaten Ameraucana, 3 wheaten Olive Eggers, and 3 Easter eggers. They are 5-6 weeks old. We are a family of 5, with 3 kids 6 and under. We have a border collie mix, a panther chameleon, a bearded dragon, and a leopard gecko. We also recently started raised bed and container gardening. We love the chicks, but gosh are they ever messy! I cant believe how often I have to change the water and how often they poop! I was very surprised to find one of my chicks seems to actually like me and will come sit on my shoulder or leg while the others are mulling about. My husband is still working on building the run. We are looking forward to getting them out into the coop in the next few weeks!
