    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    Thanks. I have one in the building setting 5 eggs now so we'll see how that goes she's separated from the rest and doing good so far. I still have 2 left from the Easter hatch so we'll see if they hatch. I bought vitamin supplements to add to the water. I'm never buying dumor feed again. I only...

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    Yeah I had two or three that were stealing them back and forth. Sometimes two of them would sit together or I'd find the clutch split between them lol. Unfortunately I thought that's what this hen was trying to do at first, but they started disappearing on me and fresh eggs too. I must have...

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    It was definitely a hen. I had several fresh eggs in the morning and 7 of my 8 left I didn't get a chance to grab them and when I went back out there were 4 left and one with a hole in it and some of the fresh were gone as well. I caught her fighting with my broody the other day and stopped her...

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    One of my hens suddenly turned into an egg eater, and got 4 of my 8 marked eggs. None of them exhibited signs before I'm so upset right now. I was able to candle a couple eggs and at least one of them seems to have a dark spot inside so I'm still hopeful for the rest of them. I currently have...

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    I only tried one egg last night. Think I need new batteries. Going to pick some up today and try again tonight making sure to pick a lighter egg. I have all brown eggs so I know there's still a chance I won't see very well, but I think she has a couple lighter eggs under her. I don't want to...

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    Deals do help. Once I got the word out I can't keep eggs. I just sold two and a half dozen today but I could sell way more if I had them. At first I was worried I would get stuck with too many. Now, I am constantly waiting on eggs to fill orders lol. Planning on building my flock up a little so...

    My broody is still setting. So far so good. Might try to candle one or two eggs tonight to see what I can see. Hope they all hatch.

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    I was waiting until she got up to eat, but I had to do it as soon as she got up otherwise I have another hen that will go sit on them and I've even had my roo sit on them while she eats lol. I was moving her, but she got more and more upset so it was just easier to grab them while she was eating...

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    Oh, that is adorable. I definitely hope she stays consistent. That will be so amazing to watch her with her babies. I cannot wait!! She is very young, but so far so good. I'll definitely keep posting updates. I have another hen that will sit, but she's not as consistent. Right now the one that...

    Thanks. She seems to be consistent. She's been trying to set for a while now. I've been pulling the eggs until Saturday, and she was very defensive. If I have to I can probably borrow an incubator, but I thought I would let her try first. She's been good so far so hopefully she'll keep it up and...

    I set 8 buff Orpingtons on Saturday. I'm using a brooding hen, and this will be our first hatch ever. So far she seems to be doing well. I'm very excited to see how it turns out.
