Hi all,
Well I am a new backyard chickener, never had chickens before. Never really wanted chickens before. lol We do love fresh eggs though and my wife and kids really wanted to do this so we're giving it a go.

Right now we have 4 Barred Rocks. Unfortunately this was our first go at this whole chicken thing and so we got unsexed straight runs, not really knowing what that meant. I know now. :( Looking through the posts on sexing on here it looks like we have three roosters and only one hen so unless I am wrong about the sexing of these 4 we are looking for a home for 3 roosters and we have 3 more guaranteed pullets coming in a couple weeks. But that's a post for another area.

Anyway here are the chicks @ 4-5 weeks we think.

It is still a bit early to tell the gender yet. BUT...if these are about 4 weeks old, they don't look too much like roos yet to me! By now you should start to see some red in those combs and wattles. Possibly even some crowing! You can always post these pics in our What Gender section for more ideas...

Cute babies too!

Welcome to BYC and enjoy your new brood!
