Hi everyone I'm new here! I have decided to try and get some eggs hatched but I would love some tips. The reason I'm starting is because my adorable silkie bantam rooster died yesterday, he meant the world to me, he was my first chick I had I even named him, Dean. I would love and hope that I have baby chicks that look like him. So again please if anyone has helpful tips please share!

I am really sorry about Dean, I know that it must have been really sad. If you have any questions about chickens/chicks please feel free to ask me!
