Are they legal in Norfolk- just hens?

Yep, they're legal here. You are supposed to register them with the city (not that all of us do, I'm sure). You can have up to 6 hens, no roosters.

Hey, all! I'm new to the forum. We just moved to Augusta County in September of 2015, and had a dozen chicks given to us last month. I know very little about chickens, but I'm excited to learn!

Hi Dutchmother - I am new to the forum also and live in Augusta County. Learned a lot on this site. Are your chickens adult? What kind?

Hi Dutchmother - I am new to the forum also and live in Augusta County.  Learned a lot on this site.  Are your chickens adult?  What kind?  

I'm not sure what kind yet. I think they're a mix. Is there such thing as mutts?

They were born around March 16-18, so they're getting feathers, but still have some fuzz, too.

Yup, I have a "mutt" myself . She's the one in the avatar. If you want to get an idea on what your chickens maybe you can check out the what breed or gender forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

We are moving to Va. in 7 days from Phoenix.

Congrats on the chicks. I have 2 pieces of advice as new chicken owners:

Ferment your feed and practice not buying more chicks now. They are like sugar candy or something to me, I just can't get enough of the little dinosaurs.

Ha! I've got 21 mutts with 54 in the incubator! Mutts are the best, IMO.

I am having the hardest time trying to find nice type Dominique. Do any of you know any breeders. Dominique are supposed to be nice, upright birds with tails that turn up. The only ones I can find have that bulky producer shape to them. Most likely from the years of being mixed with other breeds like the Plymouth Rock.

I've got a friend with a flock of Dalawares in Floyd. I just sold off my entire breeding flock a few weeks ago.
PM me for details and I can put you in touch with someone.

As for swaps...I live outside Blacksburg and have marans, bielefelders, legbars, isbars, and barnevelders. I might bring some chicks to a swap, but you can PM me for more info...I hatch weekly.

For SW VA vets who take care of chickens and other poultry, call Town and Country Vet clinic, Christiansburg. They work with chickens.
