Hatch to Home

Welcome to the chicken keeping life! This series will walk you through raising your first chickens from the time they hatch until they lay their first egg. This page will be updated weekly in 2026 until my January chicks are laying eggs. Stay tuned for new weekly videos and articles.

(As always, my page is ad free! This means some of my links are affiliate links, but rest assured I never suggest products or companies that I haven’t fully trialed and researched.)
