The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!
Not near as exciting as an emu hatching, but...we have three chicks hatched plus 1 zipped, and 7 or 8 pipped. The one that hatched last night is fluffy and cheeping away waiting for his (or her) siblings to join him in the brooder box. On a related note, chick #1 hadn't fully absorbed the yolk...- arcountrychick

Blast! Oh well, I don't guess I really NEED more eggs to hatch and I know I couldn't have said no.- arcountrychick

Yeah, youth hunters do not have to buy a license. I understand if someone is trying to feed their family, but killing just for the sake of killing isn't right or fair to the wildlife or other hunters, for that matter.- arcountrychick

The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!
We had one easter egger hen for several years and it was always a treat to find a blue egg. If I had more room in the coop I would definitely get some blue egg layers or olive eggers. And congrats on the new chicks! They're too dang cute!- arcountrychick

I took my daughter hunting for the first time when she was 5. It was a great lesson on patience...for both of us! I think AGFC was having issues with people harvesting animals during youth hunts and checking them under the name of toddlers. Which, in my opinion is not very sportsmanlike since a...- arcountrychick

Mostly wyandottes. Silver laced, gold laced, blue. Oh, and a few barred rocks. We mostly focus on raising wyandottes. The barred rocks are to shore up our layer flock. And I have to brag a little: My (almost) 11 year old daughter sells eggs to help pay for feed and more chicks! She's such a...- arcountrychick

Due to my addition to hatching, I put some eggs under a broody hen this morning. This is the first time I've tried this, but thought my daughter would enjoy the experience. It was so cute...I placed the eggs under her and she just wiggled her fluffiness around them and settled right in.- arcountrychick

Holy moly! I'm going to have to do better at keeping up with my post-reading. I slack off for a couple days and I'm 9,999 posts behind! I'm on Day 12 on the batch I have cooking right now. Candled over the weekend and removed 5 clears, so we are expecting 36 new babies soon! P.S. My hubby...- arcountrychick

You'll get mixed answers about what are best for layers. Personally, barred rocks are my favorite for layers. That being said, I raise mostly wyandottes--decent layers, not terribly flighty, and I love the body type and colors. You should check out some of the Facebook poultry groups. I'm sure...- arcountrychick
