Hi all! I just purchased a new house with some land so naturally I want some chickens. I previously raised some chicks from TSC but this time around going to raise them from eggs. I ordered three batches of eggs from eBay. The first batch, pictured below arrived yesterday and is a mystery batch. I'm also waiting on some silkies and seramas. I look forward to chatting with you all!
Thank you! I've raised chickens before but never from eggs. I purchased two Little Giant incubators and a bunch of eggs off of eBay. I'm in the egg section and will post updates as I purchased a mystery batch of eggs.Welcome! Wow, incubating! Have you done this before? I've raised chickens for years but haven't done it yet, it seems really exciting though and I hope to someday. It sounds like from your replies about cockerels that you've got this and have a good head on your shoulders, I think you'll do great. Best of luck.
By the way, there's a section on the forum specifically for incubating and hatching eggs if you haven't seen it. I'll post a link, hopefully that helps. Glad to have you here!
