Hey everyone!
Just hatched out my first set of babies this summer ☺️ I've got 6 little goobers in the brooder and I'm trying to figure out what their feather types might be. They're all Serama chicks and I received eggs that could've hatched out smooth, silkied, or frizzled! I know for sure...

So I've got this awesome Serama rooster named Blue who is absolutely gorgeous now but wasn't always so...when he molted his down and started getting his juvenile feathers, he had a few bald patches and was kinda scraggly looking. It's my understanding and experience, however, that...

Tonight was hatch day for the last set of shipped eggs for the year. I won an auction I didn't expect to win for some bearded silkies and, after using HatchBright liberally almost every day when I opened the lid, I had a perfect hatch in my incubator, my very first ever!

Hello everyone 👋

I had noticed the duckwing from the first hatch had made a similar noise around a week and a half after hatching but I wasn't able to record it. Thankfully, Merry...
Hello everyone!
I did my best to search here and on Google for any answers but I came up empty so I'm hoping perhaps some of you more knowledgeable folks on BYC might know something! I have a 3 week old Polish Crested chick (*strong suspicions that she is a hen) who seems to not have a comb...
Hey everybody!
My name is Wesley. I'm an artist and mom to a 5 year old little boy in Pittsburgh, PA. Though I'm not new to chickens as I grew up with them on the ranch, this IS my first time hatching them from an incubator and it's my first time taking a stab at any kind of urban farming...
