Hi!
I am brand new to raising chickens but I have been waiting years to get ready! We are almost done with our coop and we have chicks in the brooder. I am also a teacher and had a fiasco with an incubator (luckily I took the eggs home in time for the kids to miss it) and have decided to go with chicks instead of eggs for now.
I will be stalking all of your threads to learn as much as possible! I am thankful to have found this group.
You’ve come to the right place! We’re all chicken mad here and there’s loads of friendly, knowledgeable members who will be pleased to help when needed or simply just chat about all things chicken
It's nice to have you here! There are some very accomplished hatchers here, I'm sure they'd be a wealth of information for you: Incubating & Hatching Eggs
