Hi! Brand new chicken momma here!! Got 6 chicks, at 4-7 days old, 2 weeks ago today! They have been in my living room and just seem happy as can be. The 4 older ones have tripled in size, and have HUGE legs and feet!! Lol. They are all red pullets, so not sure what breeds. Then the 2 younger ones are Speckled something's (I forgot! :( ) But they seem well also. I feel sure one is a rooster and one is a hen. The "rooster" is much smaller and hasn't gotten many feathers yet, so I named him Popcorn Chicken. They will all be ready to go to their new home outside in a few weeks, and I will so miss their pretty little songs all day! I have never even been around a live chicken, so I've done A LOT of research. I cannot believe how much I am enjoying them!!!!!

Maybe they are speckled sussex
 
Welcome to the chicken obsession. I'm so happy when I hear that someone did a lot of research before getting their babies!

They are fun. I just got 6 chicks from the feedstore yesterday. Even though I have 14 in my backyard, lol.
 
Thanks everyone! Yes, they are great. I find myself just sitting in front of the brooder watching them so often. And they don't like to be picked up, but will gladly walk onto ur hand when its offered and ok with being lifted that way. Sometimes, when I have the top off, they will even fly onto my shoulder and take a nap! Luckily, I haven't been pooped on yet!!!! Lol
