    Dominique Thread!

    I’m wondering if I mis-identified this chick. Thought female at hatch (which was only 20 days ago) but WOW the comb is big. The feathers are also different. Please reply and tell me your gender prediction.

    17th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    Incubator holds 22, but I left one spot open for my thermometer. I was expecting 12-16 chicks…. Not 21. The oops was mine. I realize I don’t have to fill up the incubator but I just couldn’t resist setting those cute little eggs.

    17th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    I couldn't wait, so I went ahead and candled. Gulp! :oops: Every single egg is developing! I wasn't planning on a big hatch. My roosters are doing their job!

    7 week bantam black Wyandotte. Gender?

    Update from the original pullet: Our son brought her to the county fair over the summer where she got a blue ribbon, class champion, and Grand Champion Bantam. She’s a great little round hen and has been a reliable layer this winter. Such a sweetie

    ive done I've done this often and afterwards sell the chicks straight run. If there is a way to identify the purebred eggs you will have a much easier time selling them. Although mixes are just as nice for eggs and pets, most people want purebreds Timing is also weird. If you're selling in...

    2026 Chick Thread!

    I’m already ahead of you. My silly Seramas thought the snow and cold of December was the perfect time to go broody. I had two unauthorized hatches so now I have chickens in the house. (Normally they winter in my garage with a panel heater) this week it’s predicted to have -26°F wind chills so my...

    Yes these boys are over-achievers. Although it's sutble now, they're only 2 weeks old! I was so surprised to the touch of pink already. :eek: Perhaps they'll be crowing in another week or two.

    Here are the Dec 31st chicks Sometimes you can guess a Serama’s gender by observing little details around 3 weeks I think he’s likely a male: Sometimes they just scream “male” at 2 weeks! This last one is my best hope for a female.

    1st chicks of 2026! (for me) Peanut's eggs hatched. She's got a Serama, a Silkie Showgirl, and a reg Silkie. Here's my favorite chick of the 3. Just look at all that Fluff! Pouty Face: Gotta count those 10 toes * Thankfully, Truffle came to her senses and stopped acting broody.

    This was an unauthorized hatching. I found eggs under Popcorn (broody Serama hen). I candled and removed clears and quitters. All 3 of the developing eggs hatched. I like how I have one chick of each color. Who knows, they could even be Teddy's babies. Since they're Serama chicks and it's...
