Thanks so much <3
My kids are already talking about getting some chicks- my daughter has a friend with 50+ chickens and constant supply of fertilised eggs. He offered her an incubater and eggs. They are so excited about rearing their own chicks from the start. BUT I'm terrified something will go wrong, or the other 3 hens will not accept them. At least I have separated the coop so it can be shut off. He has Wyandottes, Australorps, Leghorns & Isa Browns.
Would I be crazy to do this?
Talk to people on this site regarding quarantine and integration, especially with young’uns. I’ve found BYC to be a really friendly and supportive community.
