Hi, even though I have been reading through BYC for several weeks now, I just joined. This site has been very valuable.
At the moment I have one, one day old chick named "Annie". My granddaughter named her that as we were looking for a name that means blessing from God. Annie is a white leghorn and I did many things wrong incubating the egg, so it is a total wonder she hatched. She is doing great now and lets you know in a heart beat what she does not like.
I have 4 more eggs due to hatch in one day. Yes another newbie mistake - incubating eggs at different times. Won't do that again!
I had chickens growing up, and had a flock of 11 until about 13 years ago. So really eager to get going again!
Glad to meet everyone and thanks to all who share their knowledge.
