New Blog, New Chicks

     We are somewhat new to raising purebred birds. We are excited to learn and have fun along the way. We have an incubator and we hope to hatch out several varieties of birds - Black Australorps, Production Reds, White Leghorns, Barred Rocks and others. We also hope to hatch Toulouse Geese, Muscovey ducks and maybe even a few Guineas.

     For starters, here are a few pics of a Production Red hen that went broody on us about 21 days ago. She has hatched out 2 chicks and has 4 more chicken eggs under her and about 20 duck eggs!
 
    Here are a few pics of the first 2 chicks:
