New to chickens

[Tids79]

Hi all!
I am new to chickens but have always wanted to. I am mostly interested in egg laying chickens. I only have 4 chicks, 2 Barred rocks, 1 white leghorn and 1 buff. So excited to learn from you all!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You've got a nice selection of egg layers.
Do you have your coop and run built and ready to go?

Welcome. That's a good choice of breeds you have! Now, a coop, and a run is needed.
They grow up really fast!

We have made our brooder box and the chicks seem happy and move about the box and explore. Theycare not huddled under the lamp, just a little out from direct heat source. We are working on the coop and run now for when we are able to move them outside.
