New chicken owners

[GoobertownARnewchickenmom]

We live in northeast Arkansas. My husband and I have a 17 y.o. daughter about to start her senior year We have 10 chickens that we got 1 week ago. We have 5 hen Rhode Island reds. And please forgive the lack of knowledge on the breed names. We are 1 week in. 2 white ones. The guy we bought them from said they were egg layers. (Ok?) with the 2 white ones we have 2 black and white ones that are Dominicker. The rooster we have is a bard rock.

Welcome to BYC!
I think the white ones are leghorns. Are they kind of slender with big combs and yellow legs?

They are young but they do have yellow legs the combs are still small.

Thank you so much for the welcome! I will probably have lots of newbie questions

There are always questions, that's for sure. Welcome to the forum, hope you like it here.

Welcome to BYC, any time you need your breeds/genders sorted out - just post photos at "what breed or gender is this." It's best if chicks are 6-8 weeks old or more, so they are displaying gender clues.

I'll get some pics of the 2 white ones we have. I'm pretty sure we are good with the other ones.
