Hi! Nice to meetcha!

[chickenbritt5908]

Hello!
I am fairly new to chickens. For 3 years I helped my boyfriend's step mom with her flock. After buying my first house with some land, the first Spring, I bought some chicks and created my own flock! - Now I'm obsessed. - I've learned so much through different Facebook groups. But this year I'm wanting to hatch my own eggs! So I am here to learn as much as I can. I've been through some heartache's with my flock, I've found myself crying over a lost hen saying, "It's okay, it's just a chicken." But with every thing I've come across, I've learned a lot. So anyway, I'm really looking forward to learning from others' experiences and get good advice.

Nice to meet ya'll!

There are definite ups and downs raising animals...but the rewards make it all worth it. Best of luck with hatching!

Mrs. Britt, the best advice I can give if you plan on hatching is to get the best equipment you can afford with automatic turning and temperature controls. then verify the temp reading is correct with a know good thermometer before you put any eggs in it. Good luck...

Well hey there @chickenbritt5908 and nice to meetcha as well!

Firstly, we are so glad to have you here! It's good to see you are wanting to learn all you can to be a fruitful, responsible flock owner. You won't find a better, more helpful place to find tips and information for your flock than BYC (in my opinion- I've been able to save a few birds by looking here!)

What kind of chickens do you currently have, and what kind are you hoping to hatch?

By the way, don't fret being upset about a lost hen. I've cried for a beloved chicken or duck, even with an understanding that all things have their time. It just means you have compassion, and you are close to them!

Again, glad to have you and look forward to hearing more about your flock!
