New to chickens

[Sweetheat]

Hi! I never thought I’d own a bird let alone chickens! I’ve always loved animals but never knew I wanted them until my sister got some. So far we have 5. We ordered 6 but one did not make it shortly after she arrived. I think we’ll end up with 4 because even though it’s early I’m pretty sure one of our SS pullets is actually a cockerel. Twice the size of the other SS and twice the comb size as well at only 2 weeks it has be wondering. We have a blue langshan, a mystery one maybe another blue langshan but it doesn’t look like the typical langshan chick, 2 speckled Sussex and a buff Orpington. They’re starting to become more curious and friendly so it’s been fun. Excited to learn more and share others excitement about their flocks.

I had to laugh when I read "So far we have 5"...I think there's some chicken math coming up!

Glad you're enjoying your new little flock
