I am happy to find a place for more information on chickens. I have been keeping and raising chickens for 8 years now. I have several breeds in my flock as I have yet to find a favorite. Currently I have 33 in the coop and 10 chicks still hanging out in the garage. We had a great hatching year with 5 of my hens hatching 55 healthy chicks, no incubators around here. lol.. looking forward to learning more here.
 
Sounds like you have a lot of experience and should be giving advice. Congratulations on all your successful hatches! We had 4 hens and a rooster for a year (all production reds, sold as RIRs) and one of the hens was a feather picker that we just couldn't break her of the habit. Finally gave her away to a nice woman with a large flock who said she didn't think her hens would put up with that. Just recently got 5 more pullets of 5 different breeds and love looking at all the different colors, along with all the cute baby activity.

Glad you joined BYC.

Wow, you sure do have the chickens! They must keep you quite busy. Congrats on the broody hatches! Chicks are so much healthier being hatched and raised in a natural environment vs an incubator. Nothing cuter than a broody and her baby too!!

Well, pull up a roost bar, ask any questions you may have and we do welcome you to our roost! :)
