I'm planning to hatch chicks for sale for the first time soon.

I've been around small scale chicken flocks my whole life. My grandma had chickens, my mom had chickens, and I've had a flock of around a dozen for the past 5 years. This year I'm upscaling and doing things differently.

I currently have 5 roosters, 35 hens, and one pekin duck hen.

I have barred rocks, red crosses, leghorns, and bantams in my personal flock. I recently added black copper marans, blue marans, ameraucanas, easter eggers, and F1 olive eggers and plan on breeding for olive eggers to sell.

I just love how mixed flocks are so full of personality and endless entertainment. I could sit out with my flock all day and never be bored.

I'm a stay at home mom with a wonderfully helpful handyman for a husband.

I'm also a gardening hobbyist that was raised on a farm with cows, pigs, and hunting in the woods behind our property. I've dabbled in aquariums and ponds. I even built a pond for my duck myself because I was tired of cleaning out her kiddy pools every day.

I've found a lot of helpful answers to questions I've had here in this community and am really happy to be a part of it with yall
