Hi My name is Annette!
I did 4-H when I was in High School, but ONLY did larger animals! I have always wanted to raise chickens, but my hubby fround
at it until he saw BYC on the news and one of his guy friends talked about all the hormones in commercial eggs.
So now he gave me the thumbs up to get some chickens. Well, I really would like to have them as pets as well as egg layers. I am REALLY looking at all the breeds, but think I have fallen in love with the Buff Orpington.
Seeing my kids are young 4 yr and 19 months old personality is everything!
I read that getting them as eggs and being their for them when they hatch is the first step in forming a bond.
IS it true?
Also what are the jars of water in the incubator for? I get the water pan for humidity, what is the sponge for?
I am also building my coop, and any tips, make sure you do and such would be great!
Thank You in advance!
