Hi about 2 1/2 weeks ago I received 5 newly hatched chicks from a friend. At this point I am pretty sure that one is ether a blue or a black white crested polish and the other four I am not sure about. This is the first time that I or anyone in my family has owned chickens so I am definitely going to have a lot of questions.
