New chicks in SC

[Faithfulground]

Hey All,

We are new to raising backyard chickens. My grandfather had a commercial chicken farm in CA and my father grew up working it. But the farm was sold when I was young so even though my childhood was filled with raising chicken stories I had none of the experiences.

I now live in suburban Fort Mill SC and we just got our first batch of chicks. This will be a homeschool project for our 15 yr old son.
We have Rhode Island Reds, Black Sexlinks, midnight Marians, and a mystery chick.

Let the adventure begin!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! We'd love to see pictures. Share that mystery chick and maybe we can figure it out.

If not, we have a forum you can post it in or here's a chick identifier where you might see yours in.
