New kid 👋

Hi there BYC!
My boyfriend and I are finally raising our first (5) chickens! We’re in San Diego, CA, and while we‘d love to move somewhere more rural (and typical for raising chickens) we noticed many of our neighbors here were already raising them in their backyards. So we figured, what are we waiting for!

My boyfriend is a welder and I’m an illustrator/jeweler. I’m lucky enough to work from home so I’ve been enjoying every minute of our girls growing up (way too fast!!) we love making/building just about anything, motorcycles, and gardening. In our spare time we’ve been building a coop for our ladies.

I’m so grateful to BYC, I don’t know when I ever would have felt confident enough to order chicks from our local feed store without being able to learn as much as I have here. Also grateful for having the peace of mind knowing there is a community to refer to should any uncertainty arise.

Hello, and welcome! Glad that you joined! What breed of chick's did you get?

They were sold to me as “vent sexed female Ameraucana chicks” we’ll see haha.

Here are my lovely lil gals. Honestly, if they’re EEs and not Ameraucanas I could care less. Just praying we didn’t get a cockerel(s) because they’re not allowed where we live...anddd we’re already super attached to them
