The 10th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!!

[Matieus27]

its not hatch related but i figured here would be a good place to post it. I have a 3D printer and i was looking online for chicken related prints and i found several prints that were meant to help lame chicks there was a print that they printed because they had a chick that hatch with its leg all mangled and the attached this print to the leg and the chick was able to walk with it and i also found this which i will be printing soon and trying it out in case you weren't sure its the little pink things they are to be used as a feeder I want to test them on my chickens and soon to hatch pheasants.

My duck eggs are pipping and a few chicken eggs. I got some chicks from a swap meet today.

Pretty babies! What breed are they?

Oh, man, there's a whole lot of cute happening here! Loving the pictures, y'all!

Here are my three in the brooder this morning. I'm so used to my little 3-week-old OEGB babies that these guys seem gargantuan by comparison!

Aww so cute!

I know what you mean lol. I was thinking 3 weeks weren’t that big of a deal but when I pulled newly hatched chick out I was a bit shocked. They are so much bigger!

Might be a bit before we can put them together. Right now my 3 weekers are getting the idea of flying out of the brooder.

No idea what breed these chicks are even tho they came out of my hens! LOL

Homegrown All-American-Mongrels! The best and healthiest breed of chicken!

I LOVE the wire-basket-in-the-brooder idea! I just stole it! My two & three weekers aren't especially happy about it at the moment, but it's in the brooder, warming up as I write this!

I know it's just a typo - but "sillies" sure does fit a Silkie! Pretty, pretty babies. I can see why they followed you home!
