Hello Back Yard Chickeners. Thanks for the opportunity to post.

1) I have been wanting to get chickens for a while and finally pulled the trigger about 6 months ago.
2) I purchased 5 straight run chicks and turned out with three hens and two roosters.
3) I am not sure what breeds I have. One rooster looks like a Barred Rock and one hen looks like a gold laced Wyandotte. I would like help identifying the other breeds.
4) the best part of backyard chickens is watching them grow and interact. Watching them free range is a treat.
5&6) My other hobbies include gardening, getting my fruit tree forest going, and taking care of our three small dogs.
7) I found BYC years ago when I first started researching backyard chickens. It's been a resource I turn to quite often.

Thanks for the opportunity to join. I look forward to interacting.

Hello & welcome aboard the chicken train.
This is a great site of very knowledgeable chicken (and other animals) lovers. They helped me save my first duckling hatch. Ive been hooked every since. I hope you find it as enjoyable.
I'd love to see pictures of your flock.

Welcome to BYC. You can post individual photos of your unknown birds at "what breed or gender is this?" The good folks there are very good at making determinations.
