OKAY! Chick season is fast approaching and I think it’s fair to say we’re all SUPER excited
This is our first year with a rooster, and I’m super excited at the prospect of getting some backyard blends! Our first year(and all my experience growing up) we just bought live chicks. Last year, we did a combination of live chicks and home incubated shipped eggs. This year, I’m hoping to hatch from our existing flock under some Cochins that went broody in the fall. If they don’t go broody again, I’d probably try to incubate some since that is so much dang fun!
That being said, I have lots of questions, and wanted to create a board where all you knowledgeable folks could chime in, and where others like me could learn! This is just my intro post, so I’ll post my questions below. Excited to learn!
