    The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    lol... On impulse, I purchased 5 cute chicks one day at Atwoods. I came home in the city and put them in my bathtub! I knew I was going to be moving in a few months, but didn't expect them to grow that fast... sheesh - they were jumping out of the bath tub, jumping up on the toilet and sink...

    The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    I have 6 nest boxes in my coop and four broodies that are driving me NUTS... they sit on some eggs for awhile and then change nest boxes with each other all the time; this has been going on for weeks. I collect all the eggs under them nightly because I don't want any to go to waste. I have eggs...

    I have a mixed group right now too. I mix half and half of layer feed crumbles and chick starter; everyone gets a little bit of everything and a nice variety of the two types of feed.

    What are some good high-protein human foods that I can feed to my broilers?

    We do about 300-350 birds at a time on an afternoon - we have over the years almost perfected our little assembly line :) The 2 guys do the cone killing, dipping in water, plucking 2 at a time in a plucker.. then us 2 ladies take over and start the butchering part. We then hand them off to her 2...

    I keep my broilers in a large chicken tractor as well and feed fermented meat bird pellets to them (I think it is Nature Wise brand). This is my 4th year raising them and I was just hoping to try something new. My friend and I raise over 1000 a year and sell them at the Farmers Markets.

    What are some good high-protein human foods that I can feed to my broilers? Can I give them chicken livers, ground beef, scrambled eggs, etc? Was looking to supplement their feed in the evening.

    You can candle them to see if you see any internal pips... that will at least give you an idea if anyone is thinking about hatching soon..

    If there isn't a spot on the top of their head, they're hens :)

    Interesting..... I bought 2 dozen hatching eggs a few weeks ago and they are due May 1st. Last night, I heard chirping! One of the chicks has pipped and should hatch out today. I'm assuming this little one had been sat on and the lady didn't know it was being incubated. But what is really...
