New to site and chickens

[NickiLynn]

While I was raised with grandparents, aunts, etc that had chickens, I'm new to having them myself. I have 1 RIR that is about a year old and two new chicks about 6 weeks old that I got from a feed store. One is RIR (and suposedly a pullet) and the others sex is a mystery. Its an EE. I also have 3 mallard ducks. One is a year old. The other two are about a week old. I also raise rabbits. Those I know tons about. I'm learning as I go with the chickens and growing my flock slowly as I learn.

for unknown chicks please post photos at "what breed or gender is this," and get them sorted out. 6-8 weeks of age is a good time.
