Hello
I've been dreaming about getting chickens in the past 7 years and finally I was able to get chicks little over 7 weeks ago. First, I was planning to get 6 chicks (2 Black Australorp, 2 Barred Rock, and 2 Golden Comet) and then I thought 6 hens won't be able to provide enough eggs. So, I thought 10 should be enough. I know some chicks might not make it to adult so I decided to get 12. Then, I thougt it is good to have a rooster to protect hens so I decided to get 13. At the end, hatchery gave me 3 extra and all of them survived.
It is really nice to have community such as BYC and looking forward to learning more about chickens.
