Hi All,
Just 5wks ago my kids decided they wanted a chick each and here i am 5wks later the proud new mum of three 6wk old chicks who have been named by the kids.. shadow, snowy and thomas. When i was a kid we had chickens, but i have never had chicks before so any advise you can give me would be great.

Greetings, newlittlechicks, and . Happy you joined us! The best advice I can give is to spend some time in the Learning Center here https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center
You will be well prepared after absorbing the knowledge within. Another link you might link is the Aussie thread here https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/598568/australia-six-states-and-that-funny-little-island
Last bit of advice...have fun and enjoy your flock! e

Welcome to the BYC flock. When your chicks are several weeks old you can post their photos at "what breed or gender is this,"
