Hi! I'm Barnyardmixmom

[Barnyardmixmom]

Hi. I've been raising chickens for about seven years. I have a terrible time resisting chicks when I go to the farm store in the spring. I love eating eggs with beautiful orange yolks. I appreciate eating poultry that I know doesn't have anything weird in it. And although I grumble about it, I do like the fact that needing to tend my chickens forces me to get outside even on the coldest winter days. Three years ago I bought an incubator. The thrill of seeing chicks hatch has added a whole new level of enjoyment to my chicken addiction. Looking forward to swapping stories and sharing info with y'all.

These are my 2024 newbies that I incubated, plus 4 sexlink chicks from the farm store that I couldn't resist! They were all hatched in May, and the sexlinks have just started laying cute little beginner eggs.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

Thanks for sharing the photos! Beautiful chicks you have!
I love incubating too. I swore it off a month or two ago until early spring, but got some eggs I couldn't refuse. They've been in 4 days. I am excited, yet done this dozens of times. It just doesn't get old!

Chick Days at the feed store are some of my favorite, too! I hear the cheeping and see those heat lamps and my heart can't resist either! Yours look all cute and happy in their little coop/brooder. Welcome to BackYard Chickens!
