Yay! What breed of chicken are you incubating?

Olive eggers, FCM, and silkies. I started with 21, 19 ended up viable with the other two inferts. And all 19 made it to lockdown.. Now for the stress of the hatch!!!!!

Chicken and rice, nothing special, but I'm really hungry!

Yum

Oh I hope they all hatch out okay! I've never incubated eggs before. We only ever hatch eggs if we get a broody hen We usually get two broody hens every summer. I'm hoping we get some broody hens this year too!

We always just buy ours from hatcheries, so we don't have to find homes for our roosters.

That's what we usually do too. Unless we get a broody hen

Just curious, what Hatchery do you usually order from?

I like www.mypetchicken.com they are the only hatchery that sexes bantams, and we ordered our chicks there lat time. They were all healthy and in great condition!

That's cool! My dad always used to order from Murray McMurray when I was little, but they have a 25 chick minimum and I can't get more than 10 chicks. So we ordered from Meyer Hatchery this year

I ordered from My Pet Chicken, mainly for low quantity and sexed bantams. My only issue was that my bantam assortment did not contained more than three breeds like they promised. I ordered five, and only got two different breeds. 4 were EE bantams, and the other was a barred rock bantam who died two hours after arrival. I got my money back, but i never reported the issues with the breed variety. 2 of the EEs ended up being rehomed. All my banties were girls though!

Hmmm, they gave me exactly what I wanted and they were all very healthy, but we did order express mail.

We ordered my first chickies from Meyer!

How did your chicks from Meyer turn out? We have never ordered from them, and I'm very nervous. I ordered from Meyer because they are only 4 hours away from me, and I will get them the day after they ship (hopefully).
