Hi everybody ,

I'm new here kidda anyway Ive used the website on numerous occasions for great advise for our chickens but only signed up today to be a member ...wooohooo so just wanted to say hi and thank you for having us , we have 4 chickens that weve owned for nearly a year now we got them at 4-6 weeks old and weve loved having them and were looking forward to many more years with them our nearly 2 year old son (11 January ) loves getting up in the morning and wandering outside to take a look in the nest boxes and collecting the eggs.

Welcome, I'm a new member but have been reading around here for almost 6 months now. I have found it the best place for info "."
I started with chickens last July, my oldest 5 hens just started laying at 6month old. And I have my first batch of eggs in a homemade incubator.

second night they got to 106 on a secondary thermometer. I will candle in a week to see if they are still growing.

How nice your son is already involved with the chickens! Chickens and kids just seem to go together.

If you haven't done so yet, check out the Learning Center, it has a lot of very good articles in it on all sorts of poultry topics:
