For a few months @RubyNala97 and I have talked about having a thread for Hands on Hatchers to come together and for help for those who want to be more involved or don't want to accept the "Never help a chick" theory. People have different methods of hatching, and that's ok. When you find...

The She said/He said has had it's ups and downs, but one thing has been a constant- it's ability to help people through the vast experiences of the members. But it has dissapeared. and we are having withdrawls! So, since there is no trace of the original thread.... (we swear, we didn't do it...

Well, by now most anyone who has been on BYC for any amount of time has it figured out that people do things differently. People have different philosophies. And though we may disagree with someone else's methods, that does not mean their method is WRONG. If a method is working and a person is...

My last hatch is 8 weeks old now. A good share of them are no brainers, (except the couple silkie mixes and polish). The boys have big ole pink crowns and wattles. The two for certain girls have tiny yellow crowns. But this one is in between. (All of mine are mixes.) This one is apparently an ee...

So I realize these guys/girls are way young yet (especially the silkies and polish) but at the rate they are developing (way too fast) I've made some assumptions and am wondering if I am making any half way intellegent assumptions...lol All of these guys are barnyard mixes I hatched from eggs I...

Now that I know this forum is here.... I have a nine week old (tomorrow) chick that I've been driving myself crazy with trying to figure if it's a hen/roo. It's a barnyard mix. Delayed feathering. Four toes, lightly feathered feet. Muff and beard. Came from a brown egg. (Eggs came from my sister...

I've been trying for 9 weeks now to figure out wether my first chicken is a hen or roo. (This is soooo frustrating.) I've read a million things and everything is starting to look the same to me. Feather shape, foot size, feather size. I've got research burn out. One of the things I keep coming...

Ok, so I went to check my bator (as I do a hundred times a day to make sure the temp is good) and I notice this egg: There's no mess, a slight ring in the turner's cup and no real bad smell... The crack and separation went all the way around the egg. When I started to peel it you could...

So I am brand new to the whole chick thing. We had set about to incubate eggs as part of our science project for Oviparous animals. My sister who does raise chicks and provided us with the eggs and incubator was going to take the chicks back after hatching. However, we ended up with only one...

Hi there! My name is Amy, I'm new to this whole chicken thing. I homeschool my 6 year old son and as a project for our Oviparous animal study (at the urging of my oldest sister who does raise chickens) we decided to try to incubate some eggs. She provided the incubator and eggs and promised to...
