Hi all,
So happy to join this amazing group! Thank you for having me! We are first time chicken owners and very excited to have them! We recently moved to an area where it gave us enough space to own chickens. We were planning on starting our flock in spring. After learning more and deciding on what breed would work best for us since we have a 10 and 11 yr olds who want to help take care of them.
We stopped into our tractor supply last weekend and a woman had dropped off 2 beautiful chickens with food and dishes. Unfortunately the associate did not get much information. So they did not know breed, sex or age. Being very inexperienced we did not know enough but willing to learn all we need to! Our kids talked us into taking them, surprise there! lol We want to give them the best care we can to them. We do want to get 4 more chickens in the spring so all the information about them we can get now will help for spring choices and their care. We believe they are Austrolops but could be totally off base! This newbie is so happy to be here!!

Congrats on your unexpected flock :) If you can post pictures of them, someone may be able to identify their breed and give an approximation of age. Do you have a coop for them?

Thank you! Totally in love with them! We do have a coop. It was a smaller size shed with windows and ventilation built in. We put up a larged fenced in area for them also. I did do a post with info and pictures of them. Hoping for any help anyone can give.
