Hello All, I am hoping that I am doing this correctly.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Nope not new to chickens as I was raised on a farm and have been around chickens since I was 4. However, I didn't have my own flock of chickens until 4 years ago.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I'm not quite sure how many I have right now, I have more than I can count without separating them.
(3) What breeds do you have?
I have several breads of chickens. I have Buff Orp., Americanas, Barred Rocks, Silkies,Cochins, Murans,Faverolles both salmon and Blue Salmon Faverolles. Frizzles,Brahmans,Wynadottes and Hamburgs.
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Saw magazine years ago
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I own and operate a small feed, seed and farm store in East Texas
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I ve been a geriatric nurse for 25 years, have 5 children ages 22,20,17,13,6, we live on 76 acres in the piny woods of East Texas, I love all my critters almost as much as my children. We also have ducks,geese, 4 horses, a miniature donkey, miniature jersey, a llama and various cats and dogs.
I have always loved to watch chickens especialy when we catch a bunch of june bugs to feed them. I personally have never hatched eggs in an incubator but want to very much. I was wondering what the hatch rate is for eggs that have been shipped, and also if there is any certain way to ship eggs that is better than other ways
