Glad to see this forum and people porting.
I to had gotten busy but still have my flock. Also, I was havig trouble staying logged in or replying and got frustrated. Maybe the kinks are worked out! Hens have changed a bit. Preditors had gotten to quite a few hens and a couple of roosters. I have way too many roosters and looking to rehome. Also trying to incubate and build my flock back up. And in doing so, I had hen(s) go broody and that has never happened. Trying to read up on how to manage the broody hens.

Update:
Hatched 6 baby chicks from the incubator starting last Monday, 5/21.
This Monday the three broody hens started hatching their clutch. I try not to fool with them too much but believe we are up to 7 now. I have all the roos separated from the hens now and I have one roo I plan to keep (he's just such a sweet guy). The other four free range and they don't go anywhere. This is so new for me! The one incubated are separated from them though.

Congratulations on the hatch!
