    Bielefelder chicks

    Thanks. That's what I thought. Yep keeping them. Planning on raising at least 1 male, plus my father-in-law wants one of them to put in with some buff orpingtons.

    Bielefelder chicks

    Greetings! This is the first time I've hatched Bielefelders. The eggs are from Omega Hills Farm. I noticed that some of them are darker color but have a white spot on their heads. I assume that I have 4 males and 3 females - or in other words, all the ones with a white dot on their head are...

    I'll throw my hand in with some that just hatched for me. I helped a third grade class hatch these out and get to keep the birds.

    BYC's 16th Annual New Year's Day Hatch-Along—2025

    I'll watch. Too many weird laws on chickens in my new hometown. I'm trying to get my brother-in-law to hatch some for new years, but I'd have to track down some eggs to send him. Nobody here has any for sale on the forums that I've seen so far :(

    EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

    What temperature should an egg-o-meter read in a forced air incubator? Just got one and first time using it. I know you want to aim for about 99 degrees in a forced air incubator. Is that the temp the egg-o-meter should read?

    EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

    Anybody on this thread raise peafowl? My peahen just appeared with a surprise. Too bad only one of her eggs made it through incubation, but with the heat waves I've had here, I'm lucky for that one. Do I need to worry about a special diet? I see her take the chick to the feeder sometimes (all...

    Mine were great mothers, too. Hopefully, my new batch (once I get the replacements from the hatchery) will have as good of mommies as the batch I used to own.

    *~*Runner Duck Club*~*

    So, I got an order of chocolate runner ducklings from Metzer farms earlier this year. I have been waiting on pins and needles for them to arrive. My order of Roman Goslings from them came in March and are growing great. One died soon after arrival, but they added a replacement to my May duckling...
