New Accidental chicken mom

[MichelleSinNC]

So we went to TSC on Saturday for dog food and a tire and now we have 5 1-week old bantams. I had never even held a chicken before Saturday and now I spend hours every day talking to these little fuzzy funny birds.
Obviously I know nothing so I am hoping to learn lots from this site and everyone here.

When I'm not a chicken mom I have two boys (15 & 11), two dogs (beagle and a golden retriever), one husband and I'm an accountant for a medical manufacturer. We live on a couple acres not far from Asheville NC.

Thank you everyone! I am really enjoying reading all the threads --- still trying to learn as much as possible. My birds are so much fun --- they are definitely showing different personalities.
