Newbie Hello!

Hi,
Just wanted to introduce myself and my family. We're hatching chicks for the second time! Hopefully more successful this time. Backyard chickens has been a valuable resource so we thought we'd actually join this time. We had a bad hatch last try but our eggs were shipped so I'm chalking it up to that and trying again with local eggs. Wish us luck!! I look forward to talking chicken with you guys!~

Greetings from Kansas, happychicken43, and

! Pleased you joined us! I feel your pain - I just came off a horrible hatch with shipped eggs. Happy hatching on batch #2. Check out the great article below by Sally Sunshine on hatching. Good luck to you!

Plus the BYC incubating and hatching thread is great place for advice, tips, and encouragement!

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

It's not a bad idea to set a few local eggs along with shipped ones just to check on how your incubator is working. Good luck with your hatch.
