Clucky Chicky Mama
Chirping
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Brand new first time chicken mama! We adopted them from out elementary school after the kindergarten had them for a couple weeks as newly hatched chicks.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
2 chicks. I think they are 6-7 weeks old right now.
(3) What breeds do you have?
They are mystery chicks!! Guessing at the breeds based on online research.
Thinking my brown one that has a flat comb and greenish feet might be an Easter egger?
The white one with black speckles, yellow legs and comb with points - maybe Delaware, Colombian Wyandotte or Light Sussex? Or a mix?
I welcome your thoughts!!
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
New to this, but so far they are just fun to have, and my daughter loves them!
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have a young daughter who is the main reason for the adoption of our 2 chicks. She has been obsessed with chickens! She even had a chicken themed birthday party
We also have 2 indoor cats who freak out about birds outside the window, but have failed to even notice the birds in our hands as we’ve carried them through the house to play outside.
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
Have had far too many google searches for answers on care, breed, sex, etc. lead me to this forum. Excited to join!

. I’m sorry and I don’t mean to be rude or bossy… just giving some friendly advice and recommendations. But who knows? Maybe your two chicks will get along just fine.
