Hi Everyone!

Located in South East PA! Just got married and decided to use our gift money to purchase everything we needed for chickens (Husband's been talking about it forever years, so I figured this was a good time to buy something expensive and frivolous!) I wasn't super keen on the idea... but now that we have the chick's I've really taken a liking to the hobby (and of course them <3)! I even (poorly) painted our coop. :lol:

We currently have 8 chicks. All are unsexed, but our friend has chickens and said that he's ordered sexed chicks before and more than half were males, so I figured we would see what happens! >.>
We have:
5 Buff Orpington Chicks
3 Silkie/??? Mix chicks
Looking to get a couple colorful layers and then that's the end of our flock!

I've found a lot of great tips on here like what toys/activities to set up in our run, how to sex chicks (which I tried and failed at LOL), and ideas for better covering for the run. So, thank you all for having me- I can't wait to learn more :)
 
Here's the flock!
One of the silkie mixes is... Sassy... She's the one with the mouth open. One of the silkies keeps burrowing under all of the buff Orpingtons, lol. They don't seem to mind!

I was going to post the silkie mix in the What am I forum to see if anyone knows what they're mixed with. They have 5 toes and the woman had 3 silkie hens and 1 silkie rooster and many other breeds so she was not sure what the other half was. (I think they have beauiful feather patterns regardless!)
