I really like this site.

I bought 2 hens and on rooster last fall will the goal of them mating and getting fertile eggs for hatching in my basement.

Well that part is going very well I have 23 live silver lace WY chics and two peeked today.

Jususnak, hello

The thing about raising chickens so far that I have enjoyed the most are collecting the eggs for the bator and now that have all I want to raise as chics, the eating of ones I have raised myself and not the store bought ones.

bigzio, thanks for the warm welcome.


I have been reading info on this site for a few weeks now before joining in.

The raising of my own chickens has been a real treat.

I was hoping to raise 10-15 chics from the three adults I had bought.

If all goes as it has so far, I am on pace to have 33 chics to raise.
