Hello fellow BYC members!!! I've always had chickens but have never hatched them, instead buying them as chicks from feed stores and hatcheries. As a child I got my first chickens when I was given two "fertile" eggs from a family friend. We set up a joke as and incubator! It was a bucket with a heating pad and towel
. When they didn't hatch(not a surprise!!!) my parents knew I would be upset so they bought two older chicks(I don't know why I didn't notice how old they were!). I now am planning a hatch of Seramas. If all goes well I'm hoping to start a business selling chickens. I ordered 12 silkied,frizzle, and smooth serama hatching eggs that will hopefully be sent out tomorrow from a BYC member. I bought a Hovabator Genesis and egg turner that I will be using. I am very excited to begin this new chapter of my chicken keeping and I hope y'all enjoy my story as I keep you updated!!!

This is the second time I'll be trying to hatch Seramas (in the first try only 2 chicks made it to lockdown but died before pipping
). I'm going to set 6+ eggs in my homemade incubator and the eggs should arrive sometime next week. Where are you getting your eggs from?
