Hello Chicken People,
A few weeks ago our neighbor came over and said, "When you moved to the neighborhood last year, you said you wanted chickens. Well, our daughter-in-law has 8 for you, and you need to take them right now." The next thing you know, we had 8 semi-fuzzballs delivered to our doorstep. Oh, and did I mention that we do not know a thing about chickens?
Our neighbor does not know the chicks breeds or ages, but did say the chicks hatched at different times. Their best guesstimate is that they are between 5-8 weeks old now. We have seven that are buff in color and one black one. Can anyone tell us what this black one is? I will attach two photos from yesterday.
This is our first experience with chickens, and the entire family is already in love with them!
