    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    Out of 19 that went into lockdown 16 have hatched. 2 more trying to get out of their eggs still. 1 egg with no action so far. What's the odds of hatching out ALL roosters? lol. I think mine all look like roosters as far as I can tell by online pics of how to sex Dominiques. The lighting makes...

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    Said I wasn't gonna help any hatch. Selfish reasons for one. Don't want to get myself upset in case of horrid outcomes. But 24 yr old daughter insisted, (bolstered my courage) Chick hadn't zipped the shell all the way around and one leg was hanging out. He couldn't push out of the shell that...

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    8 have hatched and 4 more have pipped so far. Think next time I'm gonna lower the bator temp by a half a degree if house temps are high of 80 and more like it has been this time. There's a lot of yucka and blood in the eggs. That means they were a little early right? I still haven't opened the...

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    First chick hatched this morning while I was asleep. it seems strong, standing, cheeping and moving about. The egg shell has nasty yolky stuff and blood in it. Is that normal? I don't want the chick to accidentally get back in that egg shell and get the goop all over it. Humidity out of doors is...

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    Candled my 29 Dominique eggs last night. Only 4 were clear. 15 I saw wigglers. 10 were too dark for me to see very well, not the egg shell but where the chick is forming. My first time incubating, first time candling. Some of the ones with wrigglers had been in the fridge 2 weeks. Rooster moved...

    good flock mates for bantam cornish

    Would Buff Orp bantams or RIR bantam or other egg laying bantam breeds get along together with cornish bantams? If not, what are some other potential flock mates for them?

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    I wondered about that. Heat rising. I have a fan in it, but it's not installed. Every time I have to tilt the incubator it slides down to the lowest side/corner. But I have 3 thermometers in there and they're all measuring about the same. 99.5 to 100. Since 18 of my 29 eggs have been fridged...

    I have my eggs in cartons and doing the tilt the Little Giant thing, instead of opening it and turning the eggs. How high up do I have to prop the side for the eggs to be tilted enough?

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    Set 27 Dominque eggs yesterday 3-13 at 6:30 PM. First time trying to hatch eggs. 18 of them had been refrigerated. Some for as long as 2 weeks, which is how long it's been since I had to rehome my rooster. I read on here that some people have luck hatching refrigerated eggs, so figured I'd give...

    Buff Orpington?
