Hi, I have recently become a chicken owner ( mainly for a science project) but it will be a long-term comitment. I have 5 hens and a rooster. They are a cross between Cornish and Rhode Island Red. They eat great and lay like crazy. The rooster dose pull the feathers out of one girl tho. I am incubating 26 eggs right now in a little giant incubator, and I turn them myself. The hatch date on 9 of them is Christmas. I eventually would like to keep some of the hatchlings to build my flock even larger.

Welcome and good luck. Remember to let us see some pics later on of your crosses.

Oh' and also I am a reptile breeder, so I am not new to eggs, just turning them which is a big "NO-NO" when it comes to reptiles.
