Hello! I live on a small-ish farm with my dad. It has about two or three acres of land with pens, a barn, a very large chicken coop, and a fenced in grassy field. I have three chickens left from when I was in FFA but they are more for pets since they don't lay eggs anymore. I plan on buying an incubator (or making one!) soon so I can start hatching out some little chicks! I have no idea what kind to get though. They would need to be able to tolerate heat very well. My whole goal is to become more self-sufficient by raising/growing my own food (I also made an account on backyardherds.com
) I LOVE this forum so far! Its so informative! I'm seeing wonderful ideas for making an incubator and brooder! I can't wait to start
