New chicken Mom

[CrazyChickies]

Hi there. I decided to join this great group after getting answers to so many of my new chicken mom questions. We have 13 five week old bantam chicks. Three are partridge Cochins, 5 are self-blue Cochin, and the last 5 are old English golden duck wing game bantams. Why such an odd mixture?? My husband had chickens as a kid and has always wanted the old English and partridge. The self-blue were picked by me. We have 6 roosters and 7 hens. We live in a neighborhood in Sacramento CA with an empty lot behind us where we built our coop. I never liked chickens and honestly was scared of them. I have been transformed into the crazy chicken lady. Can’t help it. They are just so cute!
