Hello! Welcome to BYC!!

I'm so sorry about the loss of your mother. I'm glad you have your chickens around to comfort and listen to you. I find myself talking to mine about my Ma quite often. She passed away in June last year. Her name was Kelly

Hello All....

My name is Kelli and I am a stay at home wife, and recently lost my mother suddenly and I find therapy in my daily walks, talks and feedings with my chickens every day..... My husband purchased me an incubator and I want to try my hand at hatching my own chicks. I currently have 21 chickens, 4 roosters, and 17 hens. I am getting about 10-14 eggs a day from my hens and my fridge is overflowing. I have one brooder hen and she will lay approximately 15 eggs and will abandon them so therefore I am gonna try my luck at hatching them myself. I have a incubator that was purchased from tractor supply and I am looking for any advice that could be given to help me get started and to have somewhat a success. I am excited to find a forum to ask questions and share ideas with others that have the same interests as myself... I hope you all have a blessed day....

My sincere condolences on the loss of your mom, Kelli. It's so hard to lose a parent. May you find more strength daily. It sounds like you are doing a good job of finding things to give you joy and I wish you success with that. I am new to BYC myself. This is a great group of people and SO knowledgeable! They will be there for you. Blessings to you and yours.
