    BYC members in Massachusetts?

    congrats on your little bugger here. This made me sad however... a few months back I hatched 8 of my own eggs. The last one had curled toes. I did do the whole band aid thing and when I took the band aid off, there was no improvement. My boyfriend and I made the difficult decision to cull...

    I incubated my first batch of eggs 21 short days ago. 8 total, knowing some may not be fertile. Well.... they all were of course. Candling was soooo exciting... but I never expected watching these little buggers hatch would completely put me over the edge. I can see how it can be addicting...

    Hen or rooster?

    Can someone tell me why you have to spread the feathers in your hand for feather sexing? These guys just hatched a few days ago and I'm curious why its so difficult. What am I missing? Any guesses on these guys? :-)
