Hi y'all. I'm new to chicken's. I decided in June to buy an incubator and hatch some chicks. I got some eggs from a friend who has a flock of Ameraucana and a flock of Light Brahma. I had a great first hatch and I now have...

3 big beautiful Light Brahma roosters
5 gorgeous Light Brahma hens
3 absolutely stunning Ameraucana roosters (all very different color patterns)
2 very beautiful Ameraucana hens (one splash and one reddish brown)

I'm having a blast raising these guys and watching them grow, plus, drum roll please...........
ONE OF MY LIGHT BRAHMA HENS STARTED LAYING LAST WEEK!!!
I didn't really expect it until the weather warmed up. It has been pretty cold here in Texas.
I got so excited about my eggs, I ordered more chicks! This chicken thing may be an addiction!​
