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!
Hello from a fellow Virginian and Welcome to BYC! Glad to have you join! Feel free to make yourself at home! I know how exciting it is to hatch eggs! I hope all goes well when they hatch! Oh, and don't forget to post pictures after their hatched!
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
