    12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    I started a day early and didn't get on any of the lists. But thought I would post an update. I set the day before yall started, with 30 of my own eggs and 18 that I bought. The 18 turned out to be light bulbs, she is going to refund my money. She set 4 dozen and only had 3 fertile eggs. Out of...

    12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    Rofl!! It's at max capacity and I dont think the soon to be egg-kids want anyone laying on top of them. My success last August was a horrific nightmare.... decided to not store beyond 5 days this time, bought a fan & installed it, running dry, and of course... GO BIG OR GO HOME. She's at max...

    12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    I didn't see this until just now, and I set my eggs at 4:30pm today. Arrrrggghh LoL. Oh well, I'm joining anyway. I wanted our 6 neighbor children to be able to enjoy the baby chicks the weekend of Easter. Plus I had saved eggs since the 7th (good old lucky number 7) and didn't want to go past 5...

    Can anyone confirm my gender guesses?

    They are quite the beautiful little trio. My trio has started to play/run & jump while flapping their wings. Ready for take off!!

    Yes unfortunately, it touched down on Colorado & California, took out a bunch of shops. Praying everyone there is okay. We used to live in Arlington about 6 years ago.

    Yup, we have Bumblefoot!!

    Day #8 bumble foot update: I am very happy to announce that 6 of the 7 girls we had to "operate" on in one form or another are doing great!! Fast healing, looks like we got it all, swelling gone, I'm relieved. Now for the kicker, and she was the worst one of all, I am scared we didn't get it all...

    Emergency winter hatch thread (Partridge Orpington x Easter Egger)

    They are gorgeous!! I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!! Mama is an EE for sure. If she was a purebred Ameraucana or Araucana her eggs would be blue. :) Question, are the eggs more green or more olive colored?? Just curiosity and I know sometimes pictures don't always look true to...

    I sure am hoping she makes it, man that sucks that she got her so badly. It may just take a few days for her to heal up. I'm really not sure. I did have a chicken break a beak pretty badly awhile back and acted like she had a concussion for several days. She made it much to my surprise, but I...
