    The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

    Good morning everyone! I've got four already hatched, and four more in various stages of the pip and zip. One of my pips has been that way since about 1130a yesterday, so I am keeping an eye on it. Other than that though, the hatch seems to be going smoothly so far.

    I have four in the hatcher right now. Two were due yesterday evening, and two aren't due until tomorrow evening. One from each set has pipped this afternoon, but the one from the later set has pipped on the small end. Should I do anything for it, or just watch & wait? I've not had one try to...

    First timer - day 23 and two eggs haven't hatched

    @Purple House : I'm wondering how your air sac check went with your eggs. I was in a similar situation yesterday, with three eggs at day 24, and wondering what to do.

    Hi Everyone!

    Hello Everyone! I have been a chicken lover for most of my life. My grandparents had them on their farm, and I kept them myself as a young girl, in the 4H program. My husband and I recently bought a 20 acre farm, and the first thing I wanted to do was create a chicken coop! We started with two...
