OMG I cant wait!!!

Just confirmed my order for my first 6 hatching eggs.   Waaahhhhaaaa.  I am so eggcited I wont be able to sleep tonight       

Oh dont!!! Will have to book holidays so I can be home and watch everything!!!   

My name is Jinty and I am addicted LOL.  Am going Au Naturale.  Got 3 chooks absolutely desparate to be mummies and can't think of anything more wonderful than watching mummy and babies in the garden in the Spring (apart from a great big lottery win so that I can move house and have more mummy's and babies).     

I'm very envious    I can't think of anything better either 

most broodies accept their chicks* - just make sure she really is broody - move her into a broody coop with some old eggs for a few days, then slide the new eggs under and remove the old ones. A lot of young hens sometimes do not last the three weeks of sitting.
* I had one young hen who sat for weeks in a field, hatched 8 chicks out then bought them back and didn't know what to do with them. Luckily for me I had another broody who after a few minutes accepted them.

Really hoping who ever is mummy will last but at the moment they are all managing to sit on nothing for 3 weeks each and the very next day it's someone else's turn to go broody. So am sure if I get the timing right it will be ok
