New member from Arkansas

[dymandchick]

My name is Daymi and I have had chickens and other poultry since I was very young. I am starting my flock over as I recently moved back to Arkansas, I have a Dominique hen, unknown mixed hen, Ameracauna hen, White Leghorn bantam hen, Golden sex link/ RIR hen, RIR roo, 2 light brahma roos, mixed cochin bantam roo, 3 game hens and 3 game roos.

I found out about BackYardChickens.com because I needed info on incubating chicken eggs, which I have never attempted before.

Some of my other hobbies are: raising goats, sheep, cattle, and other types of fowl. I also enjoy gardening and reading.

I live on a small farm with my husband, Fernando, and our 2 Chihuahuas, Gracie & Beetle.

If you are looking to incubate eggs i have some helpful links and a link to a popular incubation thread.

Helpful notes from the incubation thread is here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/incubating-w-friends-helpful-notes-links-informational-post-links

The Incubations thread is here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...chat-meet-new-friends/72300_100#post_16722698
Don't feel the need to read it all, but if interested just jump right in.

There is this popular hatching guide here : https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101 Currently there is an issue accessing it unless you are on mobile, hopefully that issue will be resolved.

Currently there is this April hatch a long, you might be interested in: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...april-hatch-a-long-hosted-by-mike-sally/0_100

Alright Daymi,

great to have you joining the BYC flock

Looks like you need to check out the Learning Center

There are Several differ Trends on Incubating chicken, goose and duck eggs and of course there are others

I do a little incubation myself and the incubator I use was purchased back in 1997 so they will work for some time is ya take care of them ,






This is a day old Molted Houdan

Here are different photos of some of my hatches










The brooder is very important also

Just because they are small dose not mean they don't play

Some times the first step is the biggest
