Introduction

Hi, I'm Breanna. I have 4 baby chickens and my sister has 4 baby chickens. They're over a week old and their adult feathers are coming in! I love them to death. Right now they live in boxes but we're going to build a coop when they're ready for one. Right now I have 2 pullets and 2 I don't remember the breed. I love hearing them chirp. I have at least one that screams. They're sweet and are honestly crazy. They're my babies.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens Breanna. If you put photos up at "what breed or gender is this," the good folks there will do their best to determine just what you have.

They still need the heat lamp I think and we're gonna have to save money but as soon as I can I will

Hello, Breanna, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You really need to start building the coop NOW. They grow super fast and will need to be outside by the time they are 4-6 weeks old. It is going to take longer than that to build a proper coop that is of the correct size for 8 chickens and predator proof.
