Howdy,

We have always had chickens and years ago.We had a broody hen and raised a few of our own.

We recently decided.
To incubate some of our eggs from our current flock which is only sixhaens and one rooster. The rooster is a lavender and hens are 2 lavender, 4 isa brown, and 1 buff? And 1 black no idea..

our eggs are day 21, so far one dark chick several hatching.

years ago we had like 200 hens with roosters for every 8-10 for blute eggs we sold to a monopoly...glad we are out of that. Now hens for pur own.


Now with the small flock we have
 
Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow

For your chickens you don't know what they are, if you'd like to know, you can post them in this forum and folks will try tell you their breed.

I too gave up letting hens hatch and just incubate myself. How many do you have hatching in your incubator? If you don't mind posting a picture of them, we'd love to see them! Wishing you a great hatch!
