Hello all newbie here, glad to be apart of BYC! I have 2 baby chicks about 2 or 3 weeks old. That is what I'm told from whom I got them from. So far they are great little babies! Eating a lot and being active from what I can see. I live in Zion, IL and I'm not 100% sure I'm even allowed to have them in my town. I tried looking up but couldn't come up with anything specifically for my town. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and my chicks! One is a Isabel orpington and other is a chocolate splash orpington I think is what they told me.

If you want to find out what you really have - just post clear photos at "what breed or gender is this." Your orps sound beautiful, I would love to see photos myself.
