New to chickens.

I'm just starting out my backyard flock journey. Today we brought home four one week old chicks (1-RI Red, 1 Wyandotte, 2 Orpingtons). Looking to add two Ameraucanas within the next week or so.

Congrats on the new chicks! You will love the Orps. Very docile and friendly. Great layers too.

Enjoy this new adventure you are on and welcome to our flock!

Welcome to BYC! SO GLAD YOU JOINED US!! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help. Love those buff orps! I currently have three and they are by far my faves!

Like two crows said, they are friendly, docile and quiet. Good luck with them!

Thank you for the welcome. Seems like I've already fallen for the chicken math. I went to get two Ameraucana chicks and came home with 6 others.

I couldn't help myself. He had a gorgeous flock.
Here's the line up:
1 Lavender Orp
1 Blue Cochin
1 Blue Maran
1 Heritage RI Red
2 Ameraucanas
