We are new to raising chickens. We got our first Pullets on 5/12/23. We have 6 pullets right now.
We were told we have 1 Americana, 1 Cream Legbar, 1 Patrick Rock, and 1 Isa Brown. But we are not sure those are correct. We know we have 2 Rhode Island Reds for sure. We hope to have eggs from our chickens and to enjoy them as pets, too. We love to camp and I love to read. We have 5 dogs, 2 grown children, and a 15 year old son. My husband is retired and I work in IT at our local hospital and I am a RN. I found BYC when looking for answers to some questions we have about our chicks. They should all be female, but a friend that I sent pics said we might have 2 roosters. I joined the Forum to hopefully get guidance on this and other questions about raising chickens.
 
Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow

Congrats on your new flock! If you are unsure of the sex of your birds, you can start a thread in our What Breed and Gender forums for help... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/what-breed-or-gender-is-this.15/

Enjoy your birds! If you have any questions about anything along the way, be sure to ask.

Welcome to our community!
