Nor Cal Newbie Chicken Owner

[GoatTraveler]

Greetings all. I'm CJ. I purchased 4 chicks on February 11. They are a black sex link (Donkeh), white leghorn (June), an Easter egger (Queen Bee) and a Welsummer (Olympic Lady). They have been fun to watch grow but I am constantly worried about them. They have a great coop and a 6' run that is completely enclosed. Two hawks showed up the day after I moved them to their coop full time. The hawks typically sit in the tree and observe. The girls are very aware of their presence. I love watching them and seeing their personalities come through.

My bad. I read February as June. I have no idea what I was just thinking.

Welcome to BYC! Hopefully the hawks don't get to your chickens.
