(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
This is my 2nd time to incubate/hatch chicken eggs.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 7 eggs that are currently incubating.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I have an assortment. I have an olive Egger, 2 black copper Marans, 2 barred olive eggers, and 2 hybrids that are a cross of a super blue egg layer and a chocolate Orpington.
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
I love seeing my kids’ reactions when the chicks start to pip. I also love when we candle and they are so amazed by seeing the chick inside the egg.
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I love to craft.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
My husband and I have been married for almost 9 years. We have a girl (6) and a boy (3). I am a teacher and my husband is a firefighter/emt.
