Hi. My name's Robyn. I'm not new to chickens at all but getting back in to them after three years without any. I had chickens for 14 years. I have a contractor right now renovating our bird house and pen which are 26 years old. They are making it more than twice as big! I have four chicks in the basement born on 4/21/18. I started with 14 eggs but only 5 went full term. One pipped on the side and died before I knew it was in trouble. Time and time again during incubation and hatching, I looked at posts on this web site. I had to assist hatch two of my babies after they had been pipped for more than a day and couldn't zip. You can read about Perky, Billie, Angel, and Daffy on my web site (I put lots of $$$ in to my huge web site and make $0 profit; my web site is purely to share my passion about animals; I am not selling anything anymore because it never worked) at

The chicks are doing great, and I hope to get them out in the new chicken house this weekend. I will probably wait a year to get some more chicks. I am having a small separate house and run built with the new one as a quarantine for new birds, sick birds, mom and babies, or fighting roosters to be separated. Three of my four new chicks are frizzles so I've read I can't let two frizzles have babies due to medical issues.
