Wannabe chicken farmer here :)

New here, I live in Northern California on 5 acres. Finally found a coop and eggcited to get it cleaned up and ready.
I have 3 Black copper marans 3 weeks old and 18 eggs in the incubator due on Easter. I need to learn all I can to be a good chicken Mom. So glad I found the site.
Any starter advise would be great ! Thank you !

Perfect hatching time for your eggs! Maybe if some dry off soon enough you can plop them in an easter basket.
