    Been lurking for a long time...

    But figured I'd go ahead and start posting since I've finally officially "joined". Just starting our chicken adventure after a year of research and reading up... hatched 4 black australorps (started with 5 eggs - last one I autopsied at 23 days and it was fully formed and moist, so not sure...
