Hello everyone. My husband Brett and I just became the proud parents of six red pullets. Yes, from all the great comments on here it seems these could be just about any breed or mix of breed. Since this is our first flock of I am sure many more types of chickens, we felt to try them when TSC had their "chick" days with a great sale on what they labeled "pullets".

We only wanted 2 or 3 but had to buy at minimum six. It seems that three have more prominant "stripe" of red fuzz than the other three.

Thanks for this forum and look forward to learning much more. I have spent the last year reading and researching chickens. We hope to convert an old bus stop house that was left in our yard from the previous owners as their "hutch" and allow them free range the entire afternoon. All this summer we will look for better winter quarters for them when they most likely will be "cooped" up during the extreme cold? Need advice on this and will look to find it.

I used our brand new babies as my profile pic. Please feel free to comment on what you think they are, I am thinking they are those "ISA Brown" productions, but I will treat them as any single breed flock :). They will be used only for eggs at this point we think.

Nice to meet everyone and thanks for all the information posted this far!

! Pleased to have you aboard! Sounds like your research is paying off! Have fun with your chickies!!
 
Hello Kansas Redsoxs :) Thanks for the welcome. We will be absorbing all and any advice we can. One question I was thinking about on the way over is should these babies be vaccinated for anything or should we just allow mother nature to prevail?
I can't wait to have fun with these pretty girls. I am just fascinated watching them and seems like they are growing so fast!!!
