Final count out of 28 eggs: 4 quitters, 2 unhatched, 1 not as healthy as the others, but we've found him/her a permanent home as a pet with our retired neighbor, and 21 fluffy butts causing a ruckus in their brooder. Our first time hatching since either my husband or I were kids and our goal was...

Question: a couple times I saw a 5-6 hour old chick peck toward the eye of a newly hatched chick. Is this intentional or accidental? Should I stop this or is there nothing to be done about it. I can't watch them all the time, even if I'd like to. It happened with a few different ones, just...

Hi all, We should be hatching August 29th, maybe the 30th. We have 28 in, but my husband cracked one already. Anyway, we are new to BYC even though we've been following for years and researching. Both of us grew up with chickens. My husband raised quite a few at a time on his own while he was a...
