Just Another New Member/Chicken Mom

[Kel411]

Hello Everyone!!
I am a new mom to a flock of 6. We have 2 golden sex links, 2 Leg horns, and 2 Silver laced Wyandottes. ( I’m not sure I even know how to pronounce Wyandotte.) The babies are almost 4 weeks old. Their dad has been very busy making them a home, that will also be a shed. We live in Arizona so I want to make sure that the girls are always comfortable in the heat.
I enjoy photography as a hobby so I just love being able to take photos of the babies. It was easier at first, but now they are so fast!!
I am looking forward to learning more as we go along.
Thank you for reading.
Kelli

Welcome to the BYC family!
I highly recommend looking into building an open air coop.

Sounds like a great starter flock! There are lots of posts on BYC about taking care of chickens in extreme heat, so be sure to use your search button.
