Hello, Kristen, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
If you post a picture of your unknown chick in the Breed & Gender forum, you will get help identifying her.

Well where I live 'Stay at Home Mom' is the norm. We say working Mom instead. Pardon me for my foolish mistake.

No worries! I love your term more, anyways!

Welcome Nice to have you here! Chickens.... so much better than flowers

I agree! My poor husband is scared, though! He said he'll have to call the farm stores in the area to get me banned from entering.

I have a post. Most agree that it's an EE.

Hello, fellow Georgian!

I also call my flock the flower flock! A couple of our chickies even share the same names. Must be a Georgian thing!

I hope you enjoy this lovely forum, people are so friendly and have been so helpful to me since I started keeping chickens myself. There is no problem these folks cannot help with!

Here are some updated pictures of all of my Flower Girls.

Daisy (Buff Orpington)
The boss of the flock, probably a Donald, and super talkative.

Violet (Barred Rock)
Protector of the little ones, always goes rogue, looks for ways to give you a headache. She's pretty awesome.

Jasmine (Sapphire Gem)
Flighty, not the type of girl to be held down, always entertaining.

Chicky Winky, aka Rosie (Buff Orpington)
The sweetest of the bunch, tolerant of sticky baby hands, would rather be trampled than wake up from her nap.

Hazel (Barnevelder)
Previously a Mystery Chick, but mystery solved! Smallest of the flock, and also the fastest.

Lily (Easter Egger)
Super chill, likes her sleep and her food.

Ivy (Easter Egger)
Slightly panicky, attached to Lily's hip, but likes to be cuddled.

Poppy (Silver Laced Wyandotte)
Likes to play hide and seek, looks up to Violet, usually escaping.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. ALL MOMS are WORKING MOTHERS. Sometimes raising a family can be the hardest job on earth but, it's the most rewarding.

Hey, everyone! My name is Kristen, and I'm the proud, new owner of 8 chicks. I had chickens growing up, but this will be my first time taking care of my own flock.

A little about me: I'm 28, married, and a SAHM of two! I have a daughter (4) and a son (2), and we live in Statesboro, GA. I do have some health issues, most likely Multiple Sclerosis, so some days I have a hard time getting around. On days that I'm feeling good, I love weight lifting, horseback riding, and working in the garden.

About my chickens: I have nicknamed them the Flower Flock. It took me months to convince my husband that we should have chickens, and the final bargaining chip was to point out that he had failed to get me flowers for our wedding anniversary. I have two Buff Orpingtons, Daisy (the bossy one) and Chicky Winky (aka Rosie, but don't tell my daughter ), who is the sweetest of them all! I have a Barred Rock (Violet), affectionately called the trouble-maker of the group, but she's really a big sweetheart that sticks up for the smaller chicks. I have a Sapphire Gem named Jasmine, who's a bit of a loose cannon, but always entertaining. I have 2 EEs, named Lily and Ivy, a SLW named Poppy, and a mystery chick named Hazel. They were brought home today, so I haven't been able to get to know them as well as the others.

I look forward to talking to all of you soon!

Welcome
