Hello, I came to this site because...Well let me start out by saying...I have always been a piggie girl, and my mama loves chickens lol My house is filled with pig stuff and her chickens. I recently got some chicken egg's(my piggie needed a new home) 
I have never dealt with chickens and am currently incubating my very first batch ever(EXTREMELY exciting!!), and every time I have looked up questions I am sent to this site and I always get great answers, so after a couple days of reading around this site I decided it best to join. I have sooo many questions, pigs are waaaay different lol 
I actually already have a strange question. While I currently am in the rare position where I am without my beloved pigs I do plan to get another one in the future. Does anyone know how well that interaction would be with the chickens? would it be best that when I get a new piglet I keep them separate? I am so nervous about hatching these little guys! I heard that they are still attached to the egg when they are finished hatching. Do they pull themselves off it on their own? Also just any extra advice would be great. thank you so much. I have some pictures I need to put up later because I have one egg that I have no idea what is up with it. My dad is a carpenter so about the only thing I am not totally concerned about is the coop being built properly. I mean, I am doing everything like I am supposed to but I just cant shake the feeling of nervousness, and extreme excitement! thank you for the answers and thank you for the help understanding what to expect on my first hatch(Sorry if I went on to long) I am already in love with my little chickens as much as my first piglet lol
