Old folks with new chickens!

[Little Chickadee]

Hello!

My husband Mike and I really enjoy reading the posts here so decided to introduce ourselves. We are proud parents of a feathery flock of girls (we hope). At 6 weeks old, they just moved into their coop and completely enclosed run. Didnt take long for them to call it home! They delight us daily with their antics, even when posturing to decide who's boss! As for breeds, we have 1 Buff Orpington (had to put the other buff down. Broke our hearts). Looking for replacement, 2 silver laced Wyandottes, 2 white leghorns, and 2 Isa browns. If you see additional in the photos, it is the 2 we raised for Mike's daughter. They join her flock Monday.

So nice meeting you all! -Carolyn -

Hello, Carolyn and Mike, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
7 full grown chickens is going to be a very tight squeeze in that coop.

Hi Carolyn, thanks for joining us!

If we find out coop is too small, we will send more over to his daughter, who lives on a farm, or invest in additional space.
