Introduction

[Rainiemo]

Hi I'm Patricia M. and I have a few chickens. I hatched out 5 eggs that were given to me, I don't know what breed they are. I was also given several hens that were laying and I don't know what breed they are. My chickens hatched out the 18th of June 2025. 3 roosters and 2 hens that just started laying. They are my babies and will follow me everywhere, they recognized my voice and my foot steps.

Hiya, Patricia, and welcome to BYC!

When your little cherubs get a couple of weeks old, you could take pictures and post them in our What Breed or Gender is This forum and folks will help identify them for you.

We're glad you're here!

Welcome aboard, Patricia. You can post some pics of your chickens and we can possibly help identify them. Or you can post on this thread that specifically deals with identifying breed and/or gender.

edit to state that I just realized @Debbie292d already provided the link.
