Hello! I am new to this forum. In spring we got 11 chicks, one of them is a rooster the rest hens. I was initially worried about the rooster as I have a history of getting attacked! But hes been nice so far and we have a mutual respect for each other. I realized I needed more help when one of my hens decided to sit on her eggs. I didn't think she was actually serious, its fall and getting very cold! I thought she was just young and dumb. BUT surprise, I came into the coop Saturday and there was one little, very-cute chick!!
I have 4(1 of them is the rooster) Rhode Islands, 3 Cinnamon Queens, 2 Australorps and a black sex link. I've grew up around chickens but my parents were their main caretakers. We built a nice run with their coop but we let them out to roam around the property and I have LOVED watching them! Its relaxing and funny at times.

Hi and welcome to BYC!
 
I had 3 hens each hatch out a single chick this year. (One of them gave hers up for adoption to the other mom, lol.) It worked out great, though. Some of my favorite birds are RIR crosses (that's what my rooster is.)

Congrats on your little one! Thanks for joining and the nice introduction! Welcome to BackYard Chickens!
