Hello - am new to this website and to having chicks - and have no idea what I’m doing.
Long story short - we accidentally acquired (two separate sets, 7 total) chicks - they were going to be “disposed of” and I couldn’t let that happen because I am a crazy animal person
.
Have had them for a week , and I currently have them in our garage, in two separate bins, with lamps/food/water/the essentials. They were originally all in one bin - but the tinier ones starting getting what I’ve learned is “pasting”and seemed to be getting picked on (literally!) so separated them into the groups in which they came. Have ordered two separate large coops to arrive this weekend....
I’ve been trying my very best to research as much as I can online, but have no idea what breeds they are. Do you experts know any websites that can lend me a hand in that department? Not sure if I should post pics of all 7 chicks here or not?
Sorry for rambling - hope everyone is healthy and staying sane if quarantined!

) but could really also use just any replies with basic help or suggestions for being new at raising chickens!
