    March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

    For some reason this hatch in my bator is really stretching out in duration. My broody started (my eggs) the same day as my bator and she hatched right on day 21. The bator eggs (shipped) started on day 22 and today is day 23. Two hatched yesterday, one today, one pipped this morning, still...

    March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

    Busy week for us! I received 8 beautiful LCO's from Jordon Farms. I had ordered them last summer for fall delivery but they were unable to provide what I wanted until now. They are worth the wait, very pretty and oh so friendly. My broody hen kept leaving the nest, I guess I forgot to tell...

    March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

    I removed the three chicks the day after they hatched and replaced them with eggs under mom. The chicks never came out from under mom until I stole them. But, now when I put my hand in their brooder they come right up to me. My broody is real nice and lets me handle her and check eggs without...

    March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

    I've got two days left before my 15 French Copper Maran eggs hatch. I pulled these out of my bator after 2 weeks and placed them under my broody after she hatched 3 chicks. The chicks are in my brooder and doing great. I got 2 blues and 1 black from that hatch. They are so much friendlier...

    Well, I put the peeps in the brooder and placed some eggs under the hen. If she stays on these eggs I will switch them out and let her hatch the ones in my bator. I didn't want to risk my bator eggs until I am sure she will set on them. Since it's about 15 eggs I may let her raise the next...

    I know the peeps can go at least 24 hours without needing to eat. Mom is keeping them tucked in under her wings, and I have a red heat lamp in her hen house. Tomorrow I will see if she will take the eggs in exchange for her peeps. I am home tomorrow so I can watch her closely. Otherwise I...

    Whoopee, first hatch of the year for us. My broody BCM hen has gone from 3 eggs to three peeps in her nest box. I have never hatched under a hen before and I am just thrilled. I would like to transfer them to a brooder and give her more eggs. My question is: What is the chance she will set...

    Killing Horses for Humans to Eat!

    Boy, that's the truth. I prefer to have humane horse slaughter than horses dumped in the desert to starve to death.

    Reminder about keeping your chickens safe.......

    We enclosed our chicken coop within a doubled dog kennel, the lower 2ft. is lined with chicken wire. The top has chicken wire and shade cloth. To keep predators away we have three strands of electric tape around the outside of the yards, powered by a solar unit. This is working great. Our...

    Yogurt, how to feed?

    Be sure the yogurt is not the diet kind. Artificial sweeteners are bad.

    Please can someone take a look at my chickens poop?

    Looks like blood to me. You should be able to have a sample tested for blood at your veterinarian. That is what I would advise if it is still occurring in the morning.

    Marans Thread - breed discussion & pictures are welcome!

    Yes the hens should have copper in their necks. number one though, is that they lay very dark eggs.

    Gosh, all this talk of peeping, pipping and hatching is making me impatient for things to get going around here! I have a broody hen at day 18, a bator with 10 days to go, another bator started yesterday, and another broody started yesterday. This is just the beginning! I am so eggcited...

    March Hatch-Along Thread- Come Hatch With Us!!!!!

    Just set some BCM, Aracauna, and Americauna eggs this morning. The BCM eggs were shipped to me, the Americauna and Aracauna are from my flock and their roo is a BCM. Hoping for OE pullets from my eggs, but probably hatch roos!

    First Time Incubating. *Pics*

    That incubator is looking awesome, dirty-south-chickens. Would you be able to provide construction plans for those of us who would like to do the same?

    The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

    Uh,oh! I don't recall if I am guilty or not. However, if I am, let it be known that any previous number mentioned is invalid. I will be setting a presently undetermined number of BCM, Americauna, and Cream Legbar eggs. Hopefully some Aracauna too, depending on my girls' production at the...
