New Chicken Mom

[LucindaD]

Hello,
Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Lucinda and I am a new chicken mom. I got my baby chicks April 8 and am stalking all of you for information on how to take care of them. Here are some pictures of my babies and their coop
Im still working on. Also, I know I have Cochins, but would love to know what the others are. I did a straight run buy and now I have 7 roosters, 12 hens, hence the two coops. Inside the run they are separated, roosters from hens, and the roosters all grew up together so they get along well. But the hens I got from two separate flocks so they’re still trying to get to know each other.

Hello, Lucinda, and welcome to BYC. As the cockerels mature problems may develop. Have a Plan B in mind.

I read somewhere where if they are in their own flock it should be OK so I’m hoping that since they grew up together that that is the case but we will find out soon. It would definitely make me sad if I had to get rid of some.

Hi Lucinda, pretty chicks! If you can get some photos of just the birds you want identified, you can post them on this forum for help:
What Breed Or Gender is This?

Best wishes!

Welcome! I love your setup! That's a lot of roosters! Maybe have an emergency pen for if any temperament issues arise?
