1) I have been around hens for about 2 years now; feeding/watering, cleaning coop occasionally, and handled as small chicks. I was just gifted my first set of hens for Earth Day

(2) 3 hens about 3-4 weeks old maybe...

(3) I am not sure on their breed. They seem to be white feathers replacing their yellow baby ones.

(4) Just an animal lover in general, but great source of food once needed. Like every other animal they have personality!!! I really enjoy these chicks! Ive been wanting some since I met my Aunts!

(5) I am a CNA and have 2 awsome children and a sister who I call family. Anything outdoors or traveling..I have rescued/fostered abused dogs and everyone of them is still thriving in their forever homes! I envision my family on some land in Alaska or out west with a farm to live off.

(7) I posted on another platform asking for information and someone referred me to this page!!! Its been seen in alot of conversations as well

Scored 2 really clean and well built coops off a woman who was down sizing. This was going to be an outdoor pen, but is going to be used as the brooder (i think thats the word🤦‍♀️😂) until my next batch are

Miss Mazi is my girl!!! She is always stretching her neck to find the courage to fly to me just to perch on my shoulder and snooze

Welcome to BYC! They are very cute. I'm not sure of the breed. You can use clues to identify them as they get older. Clues would be comb type, feather coloring and whether the are tightly feathered or fluffy, the color of their skin (look at the bottoms of the feet), and general body shape.
Some white layer chickens that come to mind are leghorns and white rocks.
Congratulations on your new flock!
