New here - Love my therapy chicks

[Boonique]

Happy Wednesday! I have been browsing the site since we got our first chickens in 2017 (I thought we were getting 6 and my husband came home w/40). And so it began... We have assorted animals, but I really love my many chickens: Brown Leghorns, mutt Ameraucanas, a Buff Orpington, 3 birds that were supposed to be Buff Orps but are obviously not, a Welsommer and Roo, Black Australorps, (6) 4 wk old Blue Wyandottes- 5 of which already appear to be cockerels but I will reserve judgement until they crow. All of the birds came from TSC, so they are wonderful layers but definitely do not meet breed standards. They bring me joy and peace that I hadn’t expected; and eggs, lots and lots of eggs. - if anyone has pics of Blue Wyandotte’s at various ages I am interested. Thanks!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
40?! How did he miscount that badly?
Who cares if they are not bred to SOP? If they bring you peace and joy, they are worth their weight in gold.

Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined us here! If you are only looking for some that lay egg's, the breed standard doesn't matter. It does if you plan to show them though.

It was in the spring of 2017 and I can't remember what I googled at this point. Probably something about caring for new chicks. But pretty much every Google search brings me back to BYC in the first dozen search listings.
