Hello from Castro Valley, CA! I'm a new chicken lover!
I have 8 chickens but I'm desperately trying to hatch some more breeds that are on the conservatory list.
I have 3 goofy 11 month old red sex links, 2 beautiful 6 month old French Copper Marans, one 4.5 month old Olive Egger, one 4 month old Easter Egger and 1 super handsome 6 month old French Copper Marans rooster, David. He's been busy with 5 of the layers so I could hatch my own babies but I'm currently trying to expand the flock with Sultans and Salmon Favorelles.
My first two incubating failed miserably. I think it's because they're shipped eggs from the other side of the country. Devastating losses
I'm currently trying to hatch two more batches.
Not sure I'm going to try hatching shipped eggs anymore. It's killer on one's confidence and heart when all is lost
