Hi, I just got some chicks two weeks ago from a lady who lives not to far from us. I have 4 Faverolles, 1 half Faverolles, 3 silkies and a mystery chick I'm trying to figure out what breed she is. So far I think I have 1 rooster and as long as they don't tell me otherwise the rest are girls
.
Just finished the run for the chicks when they get big enough and soon starting on fixing up the old chicken coop.
I know I'm probably not supposed to play favorites, but I have one black/dark silkie that is the smallest, and the loudest. She's so sweet!
Hope I can find a lot of information here about chicks and how to raise them, but I'm hoping I am not going to be so much
addicted to chickens that I won't have room in the coop
