Hi I am new to this chicken thingMy brother has RIR and something else he wanted to hatch,so I got an incubator and hatched them for him and they are so cute (plus my 2 little boys love them)he is not getting them back. Only 7 of the 2 dozen hatched(already know why, did a lot of research)

One has a slipped tendon and the other has crooked feet that I hope I can fix. I found this site from ask.com and I liked this one best of all sites that offered answers. I am married(20 yrs) have 4 children ages 21,17,3 and 2. No that wasnt a misprint.

We adopted my nieces children. Also have a really old dog(we tell people he was Jesus' dog haha) Got him from the pound cause nobody wanted him. I work in an infant room at a preschool not far from home. Gee I hope I'm not rambling on too much. I have been over BYC a lot this last week to see how to build a small coop (because I don't plan on getting any more) O.K. I can actually hear you laughing. I think I am finished if I forgot something let me know. I am very excited about my new additions and this site. So thanks and .......
? Is it O.K. to name my new babes.

I'm still howling at the old dog comment... Who doesn't love a sweet old dog? You have stumbled on to a fantastic site full of information and friendly smart folks who have a ton of experience!

Congratulations on your new hatch batch -now... you're toast just like the rest of us!

Of COURSE you can name them... you will likely find it impossible not to with your first round. It does make it tough if you plan to raise them for the soup pot, but if they're for pets and eggs, you'll find it a sweet part of the process!

Have fun, Glad to meet ya!
