New to raising chickens in KY

[REdwards82]

Hi, I am Rachel I am a first year chicken raiser lol. Mine are stating laying eggs daily and I want to start hatching them, but I don't know anything about that. I get all different colored eggs. I never knew there was green eggs until mine started laying them lol.

Welcome to BYC, Rachel! Great to have you with us!

Do you have a rooster? Do you want to hatch with an incubator or use a broody hen?

 

[REdwards82]

Yes, I have 3 roosters and one is very active lol. I want to use a incubator. I want to be hands on and see them hatch. I am stay at home mom with my 8 month old daughter, so i have the time. This country life is new to me and i am loving it.

Sounds good! Read the article Hatching 101. It's got a lot of great info!

 

[REdwards82]

[REdwards82]

Okay that would be so great of you all. Thank you! Thank you! Its very kind of you all. I will go take pics and post them.

Great! You can post them here, but it's best to post the in the What Breed or Gender is this? forum.

 

[REdwards82]
