New chicken owner

[Kimmie17]

Hi fellow chicken lovers! I’m new to chicken ownership and love that this forum is available. I currently have 15 babies: 2 Silkies, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Americanas, 2 Light Brahmas, 2 Golden Laced Cochins, 1 Black Marans, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 1 Buff Orpington, 1 Prairie Bluebell, and 1 Sapphire Gem. They are all about 5-6 weeks and the Silkies are 4 weeks. It’s been fun and hard at the same time as I’ve recently lost 2 chicks (started with 17). Loss is so hard. I’m nervous all the time hoping the rest stay healthy. All in all, it is very gratifying and I’m having a ton of fun!
