Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

i
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!
 
We have such a vibrant community here at BYC... tons of active friendly members. Of course, life gets busy, so I was thinking it would be fun to start a thread welcoming some of our peeps we haven't heard from in a while.

If that's you, come say hello and let us know what you've been up to. :)

(if that's not you, feel free to invite peeps you haven't seen in a while and say hi to those that post here)
Just getting back into the chicken life. Thanks for keeping up with us!
