New first time chicken mama :)

[smvettechmom]

Hi! I'm a first time chicken mama. I've been a veterinary technician for 9 years but we don't see many chickens so I'm kind of learning as I go! We've got 3 dogs, 3 cats and now 6 chicks- Bernadette, Scarlett, Lizzie, Nugget, Mar Far and Lego my Eggo( did I mention I have. Four year old? . And also an 8 month old.). Any tips are welcome. We are hoping to have them well socialized as they will be primarily pets with the bonus of eggs

Welcome to BYC. Apply the same common sense husbandry criteria to your birds that you would to any animal, and your flock will thrive.
