I just got my first flock yesterday. For my 50th birthday my dearheart bought me 2 roosters and 10 hens, all Rhode Island Reds. While getting them, our friend kept throwing more into the crates and now I have a total of 15 birds. I have never had chickens before, so please pardon any goofy questions.

I am a business owner and don't spend a lot of time on the internet, so please be patient with me if I just ask a question instead of searching the FAQ thread. I will try to find the answers first, but if time is short I will just ask :) Gotta Love Me LOL.

The birds we got are already mature birds, so I woke up this morning to the songs of my roosters and fresh eggs that we got last night.

I would like to get a brooder and incubator and let my flock repopulate itself, so I predict many questions soon :)

I'm glad you joined our community.

Congratulations on your first flock! You'll really enjoy your Rhode Island Reds. They are usually good egg layers and have good temperaments, too.

We'll be happy to answer all of your questions, when you have them.

Hi :welcome

Glad you could join the flock! Congratulations on your new flock :celebrate Incubating and hatching eggs is a great experience and wonderful when you see the new chicks hatch. It can become very addictive though!! Here is a great section of the learning centre on incubating eggs https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-and-raising-chicks
I would highly recommend the "Hatching eggs101" article it has all you need to know about the incubation process.

Good luck and enjoy BYC :frow
