June 2020 Hatch Raise along

[Tasha1981]

It's been a few years since I've had chickens. I have a surprise box from Cackle Hatchery coming tomorrow or Saturday. I figured it would be fun for anyone hatching or buying chicks hatched in June of 2020 to grow out our chicks together. My chicks will be a mixed flock, with possibly some ducks and turkeys in the mix.

My profile pic is from my old flock of RIR.

I can't wait to start watching all our chicks grow up and the anticipation of the first eggs in October or November.

I'm in! I just picked up my chicks from the hatchery on Monday. I've got a White Rock, a Buckeye, a Dominique, a Black Australorp, and a Golden Laced Wyandotte. They're all hens.

It's my first time keeping chickens, and I was really nervous, but they're doing very well. No pasty vent, and no major issues so far.

Their different personalities are too much fun. The White Rock just likes to stand on top of the brooder plate and loudly talk about life. The Dominique likes belly rubs! Somehow, I wasn't expecting that.

Thanks for starting this thread! It's like a due-date club for chickens--very cool idea.

Great idea! First timer here! My chicks are supposed to arrive in mid June. I can't wait!

I'll participate! I have ten eggs (silkie daddy, various mothers) under a broody, due to hatch June 18/19.

Oooohhhh can I be in too? Mine don't hatch till June 29th, so I guess mine would be the youngest of the group lol I'm also a chicken newbie, these will be my first (all girls hopefully) with more coming in September (chicken math already hit me)

We are in! Starting our first flock.... Just picked up a few Ameraucana and Cuckoo Marans from Tractor Supply today. Picking up Buckeyes & a Silver Laced Wyandotte from Meyer Hatchery on the 15th and then a Bardelevers and an Olive Egger on July 6th. Nervous and excited!

Hey, our Buckeyes are sisters! Mine are from Meyer, too.
