Hey y’all

We hatched a bunch of chicks this year this is our 3rd hatch this year and I have found that a hi humidity point has increased our hatch rate a bunch

We are in a low humidity area so we keep it at around 70%

This is our first year doing well with a hatch rate at around 80%

That's great. We are doing to be getting some layers soon. Amy recommendation on breed? Zone 8b

we are running bresse and copper Moran right now and both of those are a pretty hardy bird, but I would say any large body bird would be good fit

We started out with a few of the Easter eggers they call them,mostly because the wife wanted colorful eggs

I would say the most important part is knowing where your going to keep them and how your gonna process the poop cause it adds up
