New and proud chicken mom.

[PCW]

Good morning. My husband has had chickens in the past, but I am a new mom. We have 16 chicks almost 5 weeks old. 10 Buff Orpington (9 pullets and 1 rooster), 5 Black Laced Red Wyandotte pullets and 1 mystery pullet. I will be looking for advice and suggestions. Also, any idea what breed my mystery chick is.
