Hi, i'm a new member today to BYC. We have 11 hens and 2 Cockrels, 4 of which are white Silkies the rest are a mixture. Two were ex battery rescues and the rest we rescued just before christmas from a shed they were kept in day and night. We are due to hatch some Silkies this Sunday so its quite an exciting yet a bit nerve wracking time.
Hello and Welcome To BYC! Good luck with your hatch, silkies are such cute little birds! Those chickens were very lucky you rescued them. There is an April Hatch-A-Long if you want to join it for moral support https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/862536/april-hatch-a-long-anyone/850
X2, that is a really cute picture.
Good luck with your poultry raising adventures, and I hope you find everything you need to know. Don't forget to take a look at BYC's very useful learning center (If you haven't already)! The learning center as well as the forum should answer your questions! There is always something new to learn! Glad to have you here! See you around with the flock.
