Howdy,
I am new to backyardchickens.com. Many years ago as a volunteer in Ghana my husband and I raised chickens for meat and eggs. It was very different then what we need/want to be doing now.

Now we live in New England and are not allowed to have roosters in our neighborhood. We decided to have a small flock for eggs. We purchased sexed chicks 3 Ameraucanas (currently 8 weeks) and 4 Lavender Opringtons (10 weeks) I think two of these are roos :(

My adult children are also very interested it was a nice family summer project building coop and enclosed run. We have Coyotes and rules so we can't free range.

Looking forward to learning with you all.
Beth
 
Welcome to BYC. Good luck with your flock.
 
Welcome to Backyardchickens.com aka BYC! :frow
We are glad you joined our flock.

Beth, if you post photos of your birds at "what breed or gender is this," the folks there can usually sort the genders, etc.
