    Ended Official 2020 BYC Halloween Hatch-Along

    Oh no. Oh no I have a broody hen and I told her, "No, momma, it's too late in the season and you already set some eggs in July, you're done for the year" but now y'all are having a hatch-a-long! What am I to do...

    What the HECK are they?

    Spouse caught the wanna-be crower in the act this morning; it's Stormy! Wanted to get a pic of Combusken's colors better, he's got some neat lacing on his back and the saddle feathers coming in are bright orange.

    What the HECK are they?

    Week twelve update: one of the boys tried to crow yesterday. I don't know which one but it was freakin' adorable. A kind of short "Awka awka awk!" They're all so pretty and I wish I could keep them, but my neighbors wouldn't appreciate five roosters lol. The boys! Chicken Nugget and his bro...

    What the HECK are they?

    That's just the way the odds shake, haha. Most of them are sweet and personable except for Ranger, who won't let you get near him, and also tends to wonder off from the main flock. I'm going to rehome the boys we don't keep, but my guess is he's gonna end up a stewpot bird. Chicken Nugget is...

    What the HECK are they?

    Here's some attempted comb shots of those four. Chicken Nugget. It's got exactly zero wattle development, unlike the others. Kan Solay Stormy Stormy I was also pretty sure is a cockerel before posting but I'm glad to have the confirmation. I'm only keeping one of the boys, and...

    What the HECK are they?

    8 weeks old and all 8 babies are doing great, but with exception of the obvious cockerel, I'm still not certain on sex. They're mixed breed, random hatching eggs I got from a lady with about 30+ birds running around her property. Dad is supposedly her RIR, though she did have three other...

    Surprise! Broody time.

    Sorry, chick posting was interrupted by More baby arrivals! Not to be outdone by cute chickens, Elliot J. was born a little after midnight this morning at 8lbs 2oz! Got home around 3 in the morning and everyone got a little bit of sleep (thank heavens newborns are so sleepy the first 48...

    Surprise! Broody time.

    6th just hatched and looks like 8th egg has a pip as well. We'll see how the odds play out!

    Surprise! Broody time.

    Yup, that's the long and short of it. Oooh baby number 5 is out of the egg and confirmed 7th egg has pipped! Things are actually progressing a bit faster than I thought they would!

    Surprise! Broody time.

    I want to move them out of the little run and into the more secure hutch, but is it too early to move the still hatching eggs?
