Newbe with 2- two week old Speckled Sussex

[Julia T]

Hey folks,
I'm new to the community. Found this page surfing internet for info on how to care for our new chicks. My family and I are going to convert our old goat pen into a chicken coop. Just picked up two Speckled Sussex chicks to add to the other 5 chickens (not sure what they are as my husband and 7 year old daughter brought them home with no info on them, still trying to figure out what they are. There is a ton of info on this site. Glad to be a member.

Welcome to the Backyard Chickens flock When you chicks are about 8 weeks old, post individual photos of them at "what breed or gender is this," and the great folks there will sort them out for you.
