Hi we are a young couple who recently decided to get some chickens just to have to something to take care of around the house. We bought 12 chicks about 3 months ago and we were told they are called Heavies.
We joined this group to make sure we are doing everything right for our chickens.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! A great place to start is the BYC Learning Center, lots of nice articles on all aspects of poultry keeping you'll find helpful caring for your new chicks. https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center If you want to figure out what your chicks are you could post pictures of them in the What Breed Or Gender Is This forum for help with identifying them https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this By "Heavies" they usually mean a duel purpose breed that is good for eggs and meat, most brown egg layers are considered heavy breeds.
