I am new to the whole chicken thing, but really excited. My kids and I picked out some super cute chicks from TSC. I also got 3 from a lady in a neighboring city.
At this time we have a total of 16 baby chicks and 2 ducks.

The people at TSC were not able to tell me what kind of breeds I have but I’m sure that I have after looking up labels and some research. I have 3 americaunas, 2 cornish, I think I have a white silky, 3 bantams and 3 Silver laced polish. The rest I don’t know. I’m hoping that I do not end up with more then one rooster. Not sure if that would go very well. One of the containers on TSC said sex linked and straight run? I think sex linked means it’s either a boy or girl and straight run I don’t know?

I found out about BackYardChickens.com through the browser when researching questions and found this site very informative.
I’m a full time college student working on my bachelors and a mother of 6 children ages 11 – 19 years of age. My youngest daughter joined 4H last year and thought the Cornish hen might be a good contestant for a future showing?

from Ohio. So glad you joined. Congrats and good luck with your new chicks. Good luck on your degree and your DD will love showing poultry. She will probably want to show something other than a meat bird.

Hello and Welcome to B Y C. We are new to the whole chicken thing too. We got them for our kids and they love playing with them and watching them grow. They have gotten so big so fast. I hope you and your kids enjoy them as much as our kids do.
