Hi there, im new to this thread although ive read it off and on now for a year since i got my chickens.. I love to watch them outside and in.. I never thought i would like them so much.. I have 18 chickens total. I asked my boyfriend and he agreed i get 15 more this year...lol..... he doesnt know i put 40 eggs in an incubator..=) i enjoy the different colors in them all... I also like the ornamentals its what im getting next. Ive found this forum helpful in looking for different ideas for them.

 

Its my first time using the incubator so we will see what happens. =)... Can't wait to start chatting with all you fine people..

I too kinda snuck in the incubator and ordered fertile hatching eggs first before I told my husband.  He's on board now and all is well.  Good luck hatching. There is always a good hatchalong thread to join so you have support and company. It's kinda nice.  

 

Soooooo, Greetings from Maryland and welcome to BYC!!
