    Growing up Chicken in NH

    It sounds like they won't see it until May when the new class hatches chicks and invites last years class to watch the video (eggs will be provided by my girls this year for hatching). Their teacher has already contacted me about how much she loves the video. Sometimes I think its just as fun...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    So it's March in NH which means we just got 8 inches of snow yesterday. One of my hens has been broody and I decided to let her hatch some eggs. Just this morning I heard the first peeping from one of them. This is the first time I've let a broody hen set, so it is very exciting.

    New Hampshire!

    Good Luck!!you'll have fun from chick to chicken! If you're planning on letting them free range at all, you'll LOVE having a rooster. Mine last year alerted me when there were two adolescent bears playing nearby. I got the chickens in before the bears saw them, and the neighborhood kids got in too.

    Story behind your chicken's names?

    Last year I got 6 chicks from a Kindergarden class that hatched them in school, I figured that they might want to see what their chicks looked like all grown up so I made this video for them as a thank you for my girls. There are some Black Australorps and NH Reds that will not be highlighted...
