This is our first time in our homemade Bator. We are doing a small hatch with 16 eggs to see how it will all work out. I have a Brown leghorn rooster and RIR hens. Don't know what they will look like, but I bet they will look a lot like chickens. Wish me luck.
I want to be able to give eggs to a youth house just down the road for me, they said all the things that they eat have to be tested. To raise and sell chicks and eggs in a store what or who would I need to contact to have the hens tested?
Thanks

My daughter decided she wanted to get some chicks for 4-H. I told her she could as long as she paid for them, and took care of them. We have been waiting about a month for them to send us the chicks. Do you know how hard it has been just waiting on them. I built a brooder way to small for the 25...
