Raising chickens has been a labor of love. We bought a house on land that had a chicken coop on it. We bought baby chicks, rebuilt the coop (in that order) learned more and more and more about chickens and now have 5 in the coop and 7 in the brooder! Chicken math is real and these babies are just pure joy.

I have not had any of my 6 hens sit on the nest their first spring but this year a first year blue made a perfect nest and sat on them but when the started hatching she kicked them out of the coop. So if the sit on eggs in the Spring watch them close we could only save 3 out of 11 that hatched if we would have known we could have saved more

I just let them do their thing and let the parents raise them. I did so in the last with a blue head pair and a silver head pair that hatched and raised their own young. Best to just let them do their thing
