Hiya, Ryan, and welcome to BYC! :frow
Sorry about your chicks that didn't make it. :hugs We're glad you're here! If you have any questions, you can ask here or search the forum for which one fits best, then post there.
Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow Love your intro!
If you post a picture of your coop and run, some of us can give you pointers. One thing for sure, though, 1/2" hardware cloth will keep out most predators, but chicken wire won't.

Two roosters to six hens, even if they all get along, will make for some battered, overbred hens. You'll probably wind up needing to either keep one separated or part with one.

Your coop sounds wonderful. If you'd care to share pictures with us, we'd love to see your feathered friends. :) We're glad you're here!

Sounds like fun there! If you want to share a picture or two with us, we'd love to see some of the menagerie there!
We're glad you're here!
We only raise silkies, but the farmer across the road has Brahmas and Easter Eggers. I'll ask her. We're in Shawano County so it's a hike, but I used to live down there in Hartland, so might be fun to see the area again.
Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow
I'm glad you're getting a few more silkies. We're enablers here for chicken math, but seriously, most of us know that one silkie will not fair well in a flock of larger chickens. They'll stick together and be much better off! Great you're already building a...

Be sure to put your state code in your title so folks in MD will see it. There's some posts by states started there but don't think there's one for Maryland so just make your own.
Otherwise, my best...
