    The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    Not near as exciting as an emu hatching, but...we have three chicks hatched plus 1 zipped, and 7 or 8 pipped. The one that hatched last night is fluffy and cheeping away waiting for his (or her) siblings to join him in the brooder box. On a related note, chick #1 hadn't fully absorbed the yolk...

    Mostly wyandottes. Silver laced, gold laced, blue. Oh, and a few barred rocks. We mostly focus on raising wyandottes. The barred rocks are to shore up our layer flock. And I have to brag a little: My (almost) 11 year old daughter sells eggs to help pay for feed and more chicks! She's such a...
