(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes, we are a new class in our school. We incubated eggs in our classroom and hatched them last spring.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 8

(3) What breeds do you have? We have 3 Seramas and the rest are a mystery. We ordered a mixed batch of eggs from an Etsy seller to incubate in our classroom. We think a couple are roosters, but are unsure.

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? The class loves collecting the eggs and holding the chickens.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Gardening and outdoor activities.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I am a middle school teacher with one period of Agriculture. My class is helping me with this post. We are excited to learn.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :DI have been following it for over a year as we figure out the ins and outs of raising chickens. It has been a wonderful resource.

the golden bird in the first pic is a hen and the white bird with the single comb looks like a leghorn hen the red bird with a black tipped tail is a hen the all golden-red bird is a rooster the white bird with a rose comb is a hen and the last one is a serama rooster.
 
Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. Are you Washington state ?

Thank you! I knew the little Serama was a rooster—his name is Steve. I was wondering if the golden-red one was a rooster, and I wasn’t sure whether the single-comb white one is a roo or not. We are glad to have help figuring it out.
