Thanks for warm welcomes from everyone ....
@ weimarmama - thanks for the info. But, as I have mentioned to another group member, we have not had the best success with hatching our own eggs. Until we get the process down, it would be a waste to spend good $$$ on eggs - better to buy them as chicks. And actually, there have been a couple of other hints from members as to where we can get chicks.
Thanks again for the helpful hint and the welcome ....
