    What happened to the BYC app?

    I recently got a new phone and BYC app didn’t transfer over. I went to re-upload the app and it says there is only 54 members? I know that isn’t the case, so I was sketchy to re-upload.

    Is it inhumane to just turn 8 wk old roosters loose?

    So I have a flock of 8 week old chickens and Roos (they were all hatched together and raised together and our currently housed together in a seperate coop and run from my adult chickens and single adult rooster.) I’ve noticed that the young roosters are already fighting! Also they are attacking...

    My rooster is growling and won’t get out of the egg laying box! The entire flock is going crazy!

    There was an awful commotion in my coop, I went up and my rooster will not get out of the egg laying box and he is growling and throwing chips out of the box and scratching and turning circles! My black hen is on top of my Brahma in her box (she is sitting on eggs) three other hens are tripled...

    Fluid leaking from what looks like a tiny pin hole. Egg hatch day today?

    Well this is new to me, but I was checking on my few eggs I have left before I went to bed, and when I picked one of the eggs up it has some sticky liquid on it but no pip but maybe a slight tiny hole. I candled it, looks ready to go at any time but no peeping or noises. The egg feels heavy...

    Oh baby, baby it’s a wild world 🌎 😍❤️😂

    lol another RIR. Okay I will stop blowing up the threads for now, had to share this 1 second old RIR. The pic is too funny not to share. 😍 There’s a little leghorn mix about 3 hours old in there checking the new hatch out. I wish everyone could experience this! It’s so joyful! 🩷

    RIR rooster and black maran hen cross bred

    I’m so excited! I got me another little blackie! I had another Maran egg hatch and it looks quite different though! The RIR colors are showing through and it almost has a purple tint to it! 😍😍😍

    Blow drying chicks

    Does anyone else blow dry their hatchlings and take straight to brooder or am I really just super crazy? Bahaha my granny used to do it. Seems to work out good for me. I wrap them in a fresh towel from the dryer and then use a blow dryer on low setting and gently dry for about a minute. Once...

    Chirping in egg

    How long should you hear chirping before a chick pips? We don’t normally incubate, so the incubation stuff has been trial and error. I have some of my dark eggs in the incubator now and today is day 21. There’s are a couple chirping away with no sign of any pips, which is very new to me….. just...

    Breed of rooster and black hen

    I have been cross breeding my rescue rooster with my light bragmas, leghorns, RIR and my black hen that I originally thought was a Maran (but I don’t think she is). Can anyone name the breed of my rooster and my black hen please? TIA
