My very handsome and gentle Blue Orpington Rooster named Bart is available. Hatch date of 08-09-2012. He is already large. People friendly I pick him up each day easily. He also currently eats from my hand. He is housed at this time with 7 hens/pullets and a gentleman so far. I hatched...

I could use a little advice. My 4 month old Lavender Orp is acting ill. Up until this morning she was eating/drinking just fine. It was very cold out last night and I wonder if this could be the problem. When I opened up the shed to turn their light on this morning round 7am she didn't...

Staten Island NY by Outerbridge crossing. Very nice and hand raised blue Orpington roo (was 7 weeks old last Friday) needs to find himself a flock of his own. Pick up only . pm me. thanks!

OK, I've been hatching/incubation for 5 years now successfully and have a question. I had an order of eggs purchased on BYC shipped to me recently. Upon opening the box it didn't really smell pleasant which surprised me from the start. I rested them as none were broken, then placed under 3...

I am wondering if people have had their broody hens "adopt/accept" incubated peeps, as they are hatching out their own. I have 2, two week olds in the house at this time.....and a hatch under 3 broodies due this monday. I would love to slip these 2 older ones under one of the hens the night her...

OK, my silkie can't be broke from her broodiness. I am looking for 8-10 standard sized chicken (only please)eggs. Would love a colorfull mix of .......CHEEP...lol.... pure breeds. I'll need to know what they are to keep and re-home early on. Drop me a line on what you have to offer! Total cost...

Greetings from NYC! I have 6 of these vintage water bases to be used with Ball/Atlas canning jars that you would provide. Pint and quart jars work very nicely. They are so easy to clean and sanitize. No chips, crack or damages. I've used them for my chicks with great success. Purchase price...

I hatched these 2 lovely ladies myself in January. Decided to go with bantam sized girls in my new old house..... so these can be purchased as a pair for pick up only please. Pics upon request. They like people and will lay in perhaps 6 weeks or so if they are "happy". Best wishes, Maggie

The last 24 hours were just amazing for me. After 3 years of hatching shipped eggs with mixed results.....I hit a near 100% hatch today and want to crow about that! Out of 18 eggs shipped to me in NYC during our horrific cold weather and snow storms this past month...I set them with my fingers...

Finding it necessary to raise and stabalize the temperature in my older model Brower Top Hatch Incubator, I made it a pretty and long lasting "blanket" which is working out just great for me. I used 2 layers of 100% cotton and sandwiched poly fiberfill in the middle just like a quilt. I use...

Has anyone attempted to hatch the eggs sold in supermarkets that claim they are fertile eggs? I am tempted to experiment for the heck of it. My Stop & Shop here sells big brown ones and I just wondered...................

OK, in 6 days I am expecting a hatch. My problm is this.....uneven air sacks in only some of the eggs. Likely from low himidity. Can I remedy this before hatchtime by raising humidity ??? Or do I have to sit with my fingers crossed the peeps can make their way out of the shells at this point...

Having planned on hatching some peeps shortly......I had picked up a second hand Brower top hatch some time back. After receiving it and doing my homework, I read stabilizing the temps could be a problem. It isn't made of styrofoam, it is made entirely of plastic. Nice and sturdy I might add...

Well it finally hit the fan! With 6 days left to go on some eggs 1 blew up in the bator and I thought a stink bomb had been laid by one of my son's buddies. OMG..........bator was in the basement bathroom and it ranked up to my 3rd floor!!!!! Took me quite a while to realize it was a rotton egg...

Last evening round 10 pm I checked on my pens before lights out . This morning I awoke to find a hutch housing four, 2 month olds (2araucanas and b2lue andelusions) had only 3 left inside. I got sick to my stomach when I saw the scattered feathers and blood stains of what was apparently the...

I have 2 petite sized silkie hens available. One is black and the other kinda blue partridge is my guess. Both are nonbearded and were 1 year old on 2/29/10. I hatched these ladies out from eggs myself purchased on BYC. They are very tame & sweet. Mona & Itabit are their names. They are both...

I hatched out 6 beautiful Millie Fleur cochins from eggs purchased here on BYC. They are real eye candy and I am crazy for them. I was hoping people who have experience with this newer color project, could comment on my chicks please. They were hatched out on 3/36 and are 3 weeks old tomorrow...

I have 4 adorable & healthy 1 week old black sex link girls ready to go to their new home. Staten Island, pick up or local delivery only. Here they are mixed in with some bantam cochin's I hatched out as well. $5.00.

I have some very pretty and healthy extra EE chicks in darker colors available for pick up only in Staten Island NY. No shipping. I hatched them from purchased eggs. They are not hatchery eggs. All have green legs and little muffs.:<) Swap...... bags of feed work for me as well as donations...

OK, I have some peeps currently today.....piping at the wrong end of the eggs. Any advice???? This usually doesn't happen to me and I am worried they will get stuck. :<(( Should I let nature take it's course or get involved after so many hours have pssed. I can do that with confidence...if...
