Hi All,
My daughter who is 12 is a Chicken loving enthusiast. She has kept chickens for over 5 years and had lots of success entering them in our local agricultural show. Recently she bought a second hand incubator to try hatching some Araucana eggs she has been given. So we might be posting many questions regarding doing this. No doubt we will spend a lot of time on this site

We are happy you decided to join our community! I have had chickens 6 years and just incubated my first eggs this year! It's a ton of fun and a bit nerve wracking 
and welcome
! What breeds have you already got? You know about the lethal gene don't you for the Araucanas? I ended up with a live hatch rate of I think less that 50% and one of the 3 had a cross beak (slightly higher incidence apparently) so had to be culled. I do so love my beautiful white roo and little partridge girl though - waiting for that first blue egg any day now!
Congrats to your daughter.
