    2015 BYC Calendar - Your Pictures Needed!

    I'm off on the hunt for a couple of my great pictures to send to you. I still have Tac who is 16 now, laid 14 eggs this year and promptly started setting. No eggs under her, she was determined anyway so I have her a wooden egg, which comforts her, since she is unable to get around very easily...

    Help!! Broodie hen!

    Broodie hens can leave their eggs for at least a half hour, to get food, dust bath, water, etc. No the chicks should be alive. Figure 21 days of setting, and you should be pleasantly surprised with baby chicks!

  14. 16 year old Tac, with 3 day old hatchery chicks, Barred Rock, and Golden Wyandotte. Later the Rock turned out to be a mean rooster, traded him back for a Buff and bought a Russian Orloff. The Wyandotte was 2 and a half monthsold, the new hens, 3 months and 5 months about. See some of the later photos.
