New to BYC, almost a year into chickens!

[allilind]

Hello! I live in Texas and have true backyard chickens. We currently have an EE and a Brown Leghorn. One we got from a friend, and one is a rescue. Both are very friendly and great additions to our family. We got two chicks today. One an Ameraucana and the other a Barred Rock, whose gender has been and will continue to be a discussion today! We waited to get them until we were set up and could handle littles. The kids are pretty excited!

Welcome from Georgia!!! Sounds like a beautiful mixed flock. Good luck stopping at 4!! I started with a couple of chicks a few years ago and now I have dozens!! It's called chicken math.

X2 we started with 6 and now we have around 40

Ha! We live on a quarter acre. My math has to remain in check or we'll have more poop than grass!

Yea.. We have around ten acres and a barn which might change the numbers lol

We actually had to cull our other EE today. So I may end up with five just to get another egg producer in the mix. I was just going to get the BR chick, but I have two kids who each wanted one. Plus, I didn't want her to lonely.

Welcome to the flock. You can post clear photos at "what breed or gender is this," and someone may just know.

If y'all have thoughts to contribute on whether or not my BR is a he or she, hop over to my other post, please!
