Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? First had chickens in high school, a sweet but bossy RIR named Mary was my favorite.
How many chickens do you have right now? We have 2 hens we adopted off of Craigslist last year. One recently went broody & she's sitting on a clutch of 12 eggs expected to hatch this weekend.
What breeds do you have? 2 Buff Orpington hens (of unknown age), broody hen is sitting on 2 copper marans, 1 Olive Egger, 3 Easter Egger, & 6 barnyard mix.
What are some of your other hobbies? Gardening, sewing, knitting, painting... Pretty much anything crafty.
We're a homeschooling family. No other pets currently.

For a good hatch !
was surprised by a little black fluff ball peeking out from under our broody when I went to check on her this morning.
It got stuck in the membrane I guess. When I found it the shell was mostly cracked off the body but a bit was stuck to one side of it's head & the membrane was dry/hard around it's body. Yolk sac was fully absorbed though. So we're at 5 of 12 hatched & 4 live chicks. The 4 chicks are starting to get adventurous & exploring a bit.
