Hi all,

My husband and I have had a layer flock for several years now. Over the last 6 months we have been working on getting a few breeding pens set up (Porcelain Silkies, French Black Copper Marans, Jubliee Orpingtons, and we have a beautiful Gold Laced Orpington rooster waiting for his ladies!). We are excited to be hatching eggs now (first hatch due on 4/1!).

We have been on the site for information in the past, and figured we should officially join in the fun!

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! Good luck with your hatch, I too have eggs incubating that are due 3rd April and I can't wait!! It seems to be taking forever.

Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

The hatch went pretty well -- about 50% hatch rate on shipped eggs.

Here are a few of the fluffy little ones
