Welcome to the BYC family!
What size is your coop?

No coop yet but it's on its way!

Good morning, welcome to BYC. We'd love to see chick pics! Barred Rocks are usually easy to sex. The males are lighter in color. I hope you have females. Good luck!

I noticed lol! I couldn't believe how fast, every day they looked a little bigger, it's crazy!!

Glad to meet you. Sounds like you have a beautiful flock! Check out info on coops and chicken care in the Learning Center. There are a ton of options and lots of information on how to do it cheap, cute and fortress.

Chickens grow up and will need an outdoor home by about 6 weeks of age (plus they get REALLY REALLY dusty by about week 3 and 4 onwards!) YOU will be ready for them to move out by then, and so will they! My chicks are about 1 month old and have huge ambitions, stretching their wings and practice flying, running around, scratching and pecking.

Plus you might want to look at articles about taking care of new chickens. One of my favorites is What I Wish I had Known Before I got my First Chicken. It has tons of helpful pictures and detailed information all in one spot.

Best wishes with your new chicks. I hope your kids will continue to be interested, but that you, at least will have a ton of fun!
