Introducing Lulu and Oreo!

[joejoelo]

Hello All,

We are new to backyard chickens but when I was a kid I had some chickens so my mother thought it would be a great idea to get her granddaughter and grandson a couple for this past Easter. Although my wife wasn't thrilled at first with my mother's decision (since we are not allowed to have them in our neighborhood) she is warming up to them. We purchased a small coop which I'll post pics of later but today I took a pics of the chicks on our patio furniture for my avatar (more pics of the chicks to come). We are excited about the new additions to the family and hope that neither one is a rooster! Oreo is a barred rock and Lulu is suppose to be a Americuana (both are suppose to be hens according to grandma). I look forward to posting more pics later on and reading up on all of the good information you have here on this site.

Thanks,
Marcos

Lulu and Oreo update...I think they are 6-7 weeks old now. I'm still hoping grandma picked two hens...any thoughts?

Another pic of Oreo now that she decided to get up and stop rolling around in the dirt...

Oreo looks like a pullet. Barred rock roos would be lighter.
