New to BYC and new to chickens!

[mmmelissa]

Hi!
I'm Melissa from Tennessee. My husband, kids, and I have just today gotten 3 chicks. We got them at a flea market that was in a rush because they were closing so we don't know what kind of chickens they are or their age. We think they're maybe 5 or 6 weeks old. Anyway, this is our start with chickens and we are already in love with all 3 of them.
