Hellooooo from England

[Jocasta]

Hi, I've come looking for some advice so thought I'd drop by here and say hello before jumping straight in begging for help - would be rude not to lol!

I'm Jo. We gingerly stepped into chicken keeping last year on a very small scale - five laying hens, all hybrids. Despite being told that hybrids don't get broody, one of ours got all maternal and successfully hatched a clutch of four chicks for us in the summer. All girls can you believe??? Two Lavender Leghourns, a Black Orpington and a Cream Legbar, all of whom are now laying too!

A fox got two of our girls a couple of months ago so we now have seven layers.

Interested in incubation so I'll head over to that part of the forum now to ask for tips

You'll have to watch all of the big hatch alongs.

Especially check the one's started by Mahonri. We have a blast with his hatches and also the contests involved.
