Hello from Sunny warm Maine!

[hngchicks]

Just kidding. It's going to snow again tonight/tomorrow. Have been lurking a while, but decided to join to get some needed specific advice for all you experts.
Currently with 11 hens and two roosters (one rooster was supposed to be an Easter egged hen!), 10 chicks in the brooder, 5 goose eggs in the incubator, and turkeys eggs being lined up next... Didn't know I was such a poultry until I got those first chickens.

Chickens are considered the gateway to ducks, geese, guineas, quail, goats, sheep, cattle

. Chicken addictions are very real, and we will never say you have too many.
