    Official BYC Poll: Do You Keep a Rooster?

    I have 11 roosters, 6 of those were “pullets” from TSC, 3 were “pullets” from Meyers and 2 I specifically ordered roosters. All of them are within a month or two from each other age wise and have plenty of room to free range. I see them break off into their groups during the day. A few are...

    Is this Fowl Pox?

    Thank you. Both of the links you shared were very helpful. I’m really upset at myself for not knowing about it and vaccinating when they were chicks 🙁 so this whole thing could have been avoided.

    🍁 September Hatch-a-Long 🍁

    Today is hatch day for our barn yard mix chicks. This is our first time, and frustrating because we can’t see into our incubator.

    Thank you for your help! I'm getting antsy. I'm also going to start looking for an incubator with a better view.

    This is my first hatch.....tomorrow is lock down. I am going to candle once more tonight. I believe I have 4 out of 24 that weren't fertilized / never developed. (Fingers crossed) when they begin to hatch .... how long do you leave the chicks in the incubator before you move them to the...

    I got a green queen this year too. She's 7 months old and I'm still waiting like a kid at Christmas for her eggs. I'm crossing my fingers it's actually green. :-)

    Wow! What beautiful plumage on your middle bird! Thank you 💙 I was hoping for another hen and was so disappointed when I found out he was a rooster, but he is a pretty boy and has a great temperament. I love the black hen you have. She’s beautiful.

    🍁 September Hatch-a-Long 🍁

    :wee We bought an incubator over a month ago and I’ve finally gotten around to adding eggs this morning. I put in 24 eggs and they are due to hatch Sept. 14 :fl The biggest issue I’m having today is getting the humidity stable/ correct.
