Hello, My name is Diana, I currently just moved to an area where I can have my own livestock. First thing I did was buy chicks, from TSC. (Luckly the home we bought already had a fantastic coop, and run that are very secure all around... top and bottom, sides covered!)
I wound up getting 12 chicks, 6 were already sexed (black sex link chicks) the rest were straight run, and I have no idea the breeds. They are currently about to be 11-12 weeks old. I have 2 confirmed roos. That's legit all I know. I was told 2 of the chickens I have are EE, but was also told they were sliver laced Wyandotte (by TSC), but I don't think they are SLW. Anyways it's nice to meet y'all, and joint the group. I'm 100% sure I will ask dumb questions... but hey, I habe to learn somewhere.

Imma go ahead and post chicken pictures too, so y'all can see my mix matched flock <3

Hi Diana and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us and congrats on your littles. Please remember, we all started out knowing nothing at all about chickens - the only dumb questions are the one's we don't ask, so don't by shy in asking any questions that you may have.


You can post pics of individual birds on this forum, for help with either gender or breed -

Here’s a link to the Articles section - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/ There you’ll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping chickens - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs.

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive
