Hi everyone,

I've joined BYC because I've found myself spending more and more time here and finally decided that the thing to do would be JOIN! I've got a bunch of questions and have been becoming more and more interested in hatching and raising chickens. It all started as a pre-school project, when I mentioned wanting to hatch some chicks with my pre-school classroom. One of the parents, of a child in the class, offered to bring me some eggs from his parents' farm and I excitedly accepted. On the day that the eggs were delivered, I was, unfortunately, very unprepared. The child showed up with an egg carton, with 8 eggs in it, and a slip of paper with three "simple" instructions scrawled on it. The instructions were as follows: 1. Put eggs in incubator ASAP 2. When eggs hatch (21 days) put chicks in box with heat lamp 3. Feed chicks with chick starter
You can imagine my alarm!! Anyway, a quick trip to our South Eastern Country Store (and about $350.00) and a few looong chats with one of the very helpful employees, there, got me "on track" to our first attempt at hatching some chicks. Which, as you might have guessed, I have become a bit obsessed with! I've learned a LOT of information, from this site so far, and look forward to 'chatting' with other members as I continue my journey.
