Welcome to BYC! Nice mix of chickens! They are quite fun to watch, and forget about store bought eggs once you're spoiled with fresh ones!
Seven chickens is a nice size....and very nice breed selection! I'm sure they bring you a lot of joy. I'm a newbie here and trying to learn as much as I can before I get chickens. BYCs is a gold mine of info....with super friendly people who have great depth of knowledge and are more than willing to help where they can. Bring your questions and pull up and chair.....you're going to like it here!
