Hi! I’m Angie, and I’m new to having backyard chickens. I currently have 6 chickens, four of which I’ve had since the day they hatched (even witnessed a couple of them actually peck their way into this world)! Those four are 3 months old, and my two other little ones (Silkies) are about 7 weeks. I know for sure that one of my “older” ones (my big white one) is an Ameraucana, but I’m not 100% sure on the rest of them. Maybe you guys could help me out with that? I love my chickens very much! Unfortunately, based on a post that I made earlier, two of my big ones are males.
I’m not allowed to have roosters within city limits, so I’ll have to give them up, which breaks my heart. I refuse to just send them off to be killed though, so I’ll have to be sure that they find homes where they can live out the rest of their lives happily. Below you’ll find pictures of all my chickie babies!

Hello Angie! Welcome. Your birds are absolutely adorable. I’m so sorry you have to give away your roosters. I hope you enjoy being on this site.

Good Luck with the Flock

To me it looks like you have two silkies and one wellsummer.

Hi Angie, welcome to BYC! Craigslist is a good place to find homes for your males. I'd start looking soon. You can ask potential owners plenty of questions. Good luck finding them a great home.

Welcome to the BYC family!
Please remember that chicken wire is not predator proof.
You may want to think about making your area predator proof with 1/2-in hardware cloth.

Hello, Angie, and welcome to BYC. I guess you know that the first two birds are cockerels?
