New chicken mama!

[vkramer]

Hi all!
My name is Valerie and I live in Ohio. Today I received my first order of chicks! I ordered four chicks from Meyer Hatchery, and in a fun surprise, got SEVEN!
From what I can tell, this is what I have:
2- Easter eggers
2 - Silver laced cochins
(those are what I ordered)
1 - New Hampshire Red
2 - Mystery/ Austra Whites?

This is my first time owning chickens, but luckily my aunts have been raising them for longer than I've been alive, so I have some great resources.

I can't wait to be a part of your community!
