    6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

    We have 6 littles and 4 still trying hard. Set 16: 4 infertile 1 quit day 6 or 7. 11 went to lockdown. One egg shows nothing at all. The hatch chicks played a mean game of egg bowling before taken out of bator and I saw no pips on that egg. Guessing it died during lockdown. Hoping these last...

    6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

    I have four more hours at work today and it is causing me stress. I can hardly wait to get home to sit vigil over the incubator. My poor hubbie is tired of texting me that no changes. I have bugged him every hour on the hour after hearing cheeps late last night. No pips this morning no rocking...

    I have 12 that look to be going strong and 4 that are looking to be duds. two of the four are kinda porous. Thought about not setting them but had high hopes that they would develop. Super excited to be hatching again.

    Super excited to set 15 mix eggs from my four layers. My roo is a hatchery GLW and girls are RSL. My 6 and 8 year olds have been talking about it all week. They will be home most of the time to watch the process. Hope to get a good hatch on New Years Day! Happy hatching to all!

    RonP We won't be putting her back. She will live a happy life inside. I'm looking for a playmate for her. Hubby won't be happy but I won't let her suffer being brutalized either.

    Thank you for the response. All three bigger girls are bullying the smaller one. We have decided to make the smaller girl into a house pet. She is loving all the attention of course. DH only stepped on her once today so far. Lol. She follows him around clucking at him now so he knows she is...

    Well removing one caused the other two to move into position of being the bullies. So we now have a house chicken. My little girl will be living inside for the time being.

    Pecking Order

    He is a little over 5 months. He is good to his girls. I thought it was him that was going after the little one while trying to mate her, but I caught the dominant girl attacking little one in the nest boxes one day last week. That was when I realized he was trying to protect the little one. He...

    My dominant standard breed wyandotte/brabanter mix is attacking my smaller production red. More poor little one has a scabbed up comb now. Is it better to seperated the dominant from the group now that comb healing? The dominant one also nipped my glw roo on the wattles. Thinking she is just...

    whats the most annoying response you get when people find out you have chickens?

    oh ok, I grew up around here but recently moved back. I've lived in Kansas and Arizona as well. I have 2 red sex links that are laying, I also have two barred rock pullets and a white mystery chicken lol. I was really hoping she was a rooster but it doesn't look that way. Why is your roo a pain...
