New backyard chicken owner!

[tabitat1]

Hi everyone! My very first chicks just arrived via mail two weeks ago, and these babies are growing like crazy! I ordered 15 from Sky Girl Farm in Texas. They specialize in colored egg layers, so I’m hoping I’ve got a good amount of hens. The chicks were on paper towel and rubber shelf liner bedding for the first two weeks, but I just moved them to pine shavings over paper towels this evening. My husband made a nice big brooder box that we keep in our breezeway and they are already trying to fly out and explore! Looking forward to learning from the community!

Hello! Are your girls laying? I recently ordered hatching eggs from Sky girl farm and would love to know what egg colors you're getting from your girls

Yes! They were born July 7th and a couple of hens actually started laying in early November. Way sooner than I expected, but their eggs are gorgeous. Attached is a photo of a dozen of my favorites from a few weeks ago! What hatching eggs did you get? I’ve never hatched my own, but that sounds exciting!

OMG these are stunning! I can only hope mine will be this beautiful. What did you order? I got a dozen "heavy bloom" eggs. Would love to order chicks next!!
