Chickens....ever wonder what all the craze of raising backyard chickens is about? I will walk you through the process of obtaining and hatching chicken eggs, from choosing the right breed, using a still air incubator, what to expect in the growth process, how to tell the difference between fertile and non-fertile eggs, and how to get the baby chicks on a good start. Are you ready to embark on the exciting journey of becoming a chicken parent? Following my method carefully will ensure the best hatch rates possible.

Join the years of Brenda's Bantam's happy customers who have bought hatching eggs and young birds to get their flock started. This course includes useful information in creating a good brooder setup for chicks after they hatch. Gain confidence in your ability to hatch "picky" chicken breeds.
