Adding new chickens to the flock.

[Poultry parent]

I actually got him because one of my hens went broody, and I figured it was easier to have her hatch eggs, than to try to break her brood. I've got 6 chicks that are his

 

[KaylorFarms]

Wow! Would you ever hatch anymore?

 

[Poultry parent]

I've got eggs in an incubator right now actually! I'll probably hatch some every year for both meat and eggs

 

[KaylorFarms]

That's amazing! How long till they hatch?

 

[Poultry parent]

12 days
It's the fist time I've used an incubator, so hopefully it all goes well

 

[KaylorFarms]

Good luck!

 

[Poultry parent]

Thank you! I'll let you know how it goes

 

[KaylorFarms]

great! Thanks.

Has anyone added on anymore chickens to their flock? I had 4 and added on 6!

I'm getting a trio of barred rock tomorrow to add to my flock of 16. Made up of hyline brown and gold laced wyandotte. Question is, will the plymouth rocks gell well with the others or will I need to build a separate coop? I've read that they can be bossy...
Thanks, CK
