Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself as I have just joined this site. My name is Jess and I am the proud mother of some lovely chicks I picked up on the weekend! I have owned chickens before but since these girls are the most special chickens I have ever had, I want to learn as much as I can about keeping them happy and healthy, so decided to join WAP. I picked up some lovely 6 wk old Barnevelders, GLWs and a very bossy little RIR/WLW cross- who is no doubt top of the pecking order! I'm so glad I found this website, because you all seem to be a wealth of chicken reering knowledge! I will no doubt be posting queries on here all the time, so thanking you in advance for all your good advice! Attachments:

Thanks everyone! When I get some good photos of the litle girls, I will definately be asking you all for opinions on if they are in fact girls! I read an interesting fact yesterday about little boy chickens: they stand up tall and twitter an alarm noise when something flies over the top of their heads, and little girls will cower or run for cover. I have definately heard the little alarm sounds when a plane flies over head so now just need to watch which chickens are doing it! I can never get sick of watching my girls 9or girls and boys), I can sit out in the pen for hours Just watching their funny little behaviours!

I have benches next to a couple of my pens and love to sit and watch them. Unfortunately I dont get to do that as much these days now that the little man is walking, no make that running lol and wont sit still for 5 seconds lol. Now the chookens just need to do something funny when I am actually watching them so that I can enter a photo in the photo comp
