I'm right there with you. Just finished hatching out 9 chicks and what an experience! I'm a retired fire fighter and I haven't had an adrenalin rush like that since I retired! Good luck and have fun.
Hi all, I'm in south Augusta also. Just saw this thread and thought I'd pipe in. Just hatched 9 bitties from eggs a friend gave me to hatch for her. Well 3 were my eggs from my chickens. I have 3 white silkies a red frizzle in one pen and 3 cinnamon queens with a RIR roo in the main coop. Two CQ...
Thanks for all the kind comments and prayers. I've already repaired one small coop and run for the cinnamon queens and have the silkies in another tee-pee type pen. Already getting eggs so I guess the moving didn't stress them too much. Hoping ins will pay off and can build nice coop&run.
Saved 3 of 4 hens and rooster. Having to go through ins claim for tree removal and replacement of coop and run. Who knows, may have been blessing in disguise!
