I’ve been here off an on reading the forums to learn for the past year and a half with our initial flock of hens, but we got some new chicks to add to the flock this year and I was curious about their breeds so decided to officially join!
Thanks for being such a great place to get good info on raising chickens.
We have six hens in our original flock- 2 Colombian wyandottes, 2 Easter Eggers, a speckled sussex and a sapphire gem.
We purchased 20 chicks yesterday at our local rural king (and came home with a freebie!! )- two of them died in the first two hours! I think they may have gotten trampled in the little boxes on the way home, I don’t know- bc they all seemed happy and lively at the store so we are down to 19 chicks. I forgot how stressful it can be in the first week or so…. maybe should not have jumped from 6 to 21 but you know… chicken math! we share eggs with my parents and my grandparents so 6 was not cutting it.

Anyway! Thanks our flock!
See ya around!

Greetings!

So sorry for the loss. Keep us posted and share lots of pics! Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page.
