New chicks



We have some new chicks from the incubator.  The best is a broody hen hatching and caring for chicks.  We had some hatches last season, but our demand for eggs exceeded our flock.  We have ordered some chicks that should arrive next month.  They have characteristics we want to add to our flock - better broodiness and good foraging. 






We also are hatching using our incubator. One batch has hatched and I will start a new batch tonight.
