6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

[ronott1]

Hi everyone, i just wanted to say thank you for letting me follow along on the NY 2015 hatch. You all are SO hysterically funny, so i laughed a lot and learnt a lot. I ordered eggs so should have a valentines hatch!
I am new last year to chickens but have gone from 12 to 33. At first DH wanted to know: " so whats the strategy with the chickens?"
Strategy? Is he crazy. Who has strategy when you're chicken crazy. Then he said no more eggs as we had a terrible hatch and the kids were crying and my cat ate one of the babies ugh..... I just told him to except more eggs in the mail this week and he said " ok whatever". So looks like i have my chicken way!
Congratulations to the winners esp. Black goat!

Never give up on hatching. It gets better with practice.

Where are you located in California. It is best to pick up fresh eggs that have not been shipped.

Absolutely not! All my dogs would eat them in a heart beat. But I'm fairly careful and my dogs don't run loose.
