A batch I hatched in my incubator once year… I was busy working hay one week, cutting, baling and I forgot about the eggs. One day I came to the house for lunch. I was eating and kept hearing a chirping sound. I thought a bird had gotten in the house somehow. I got up and walked around looking for it. Of course, I realized as soon as I saw my incubator… Felt awful silly for a few minutes! 🙄 Several chicks had hatched out…

Good luck on the peeps!

Just discovered this forum today and a broody hen I had marked down for chicks yesterday, didn't have any--but today she does! New beginnings all around! I call the hen house and yard my chicken TV.

Congratulation, glad to have you aboard. I have found in the four year on this site that there are a lot of wise & knowledgably people who like to help anyone they can. I count myself lucky to have found this group, after being on many home & garden sites.

We had true free range banny chickens that roost in small oak trees, in Spring we would get 10-25 chicks & most made it to adult hood.
We tried to keep up with the hiding nest, but we would miss a few hens every year & kill off the roasters in Fall.
We had two every small banny roaster who would tag team a large white rock roaster, that I was scared of.

Our first chickens were bannys and they are pudy little things and ours laid green eggs.
