Hi all. I'm not familiar with the Welbar breed other than research I've done online after picking up 4 babies in early May from my local Tractor Supply. I asked the store what hatchery they used and could not get an answer, and have searched all the hatcheries that actively are advertising...

I got these two lovely ladies today, marked as Barnyard mix. They came from a Mennonite community where they have livestock sales once a month. I’ve gotten 4 of my other chickens (Easter Eggers) there and know they usually have barred rocks, red production birds, buff Orps, and occasional game...

My dad is browsing his local Tractor Supply and just sent me pics of their new improved chick bins. They have integrated water and heat, and apparently are easy to clean. I'm stuck at work and don't need chicks, but feel the need to go check these out at some point. I wonder if they'll be easier...

QSo, about 18 days ago my little 1 pound bantam chicken Hawk decided to go broody. She’s 2-6 pounds smaller than everyone else and none of my chicken eggs are fertile, so I put her in her own crate inside the chicken house and gave her some quail eggs to try to hatch. I didn’t know if it would...

I was given 3 show quality/show bloodline silver duckwing Old English Game Bantam chicks on 9/28 that were about 3 days old. They've been hand raised inside in a brooder in my living room, are friendly, used to being handled, and will sit on your fingers/hand like a parrot. Two just confirmed...

If anyone has experience with this, I'd love some advice. I bought 2 Dutch Bantam pullets on July 29th, and was told they were right at a month old. I got them from a Mennonite farm where I'd previously gotten my Easter Eggers the year before, and they were hand raised by one of the teenagers...

I set my first batch of eggs to incubate in late April, with the hatch date set for my birthday (5/12) and so they'd be ready for my family to see when I hosted Mother's Day on Sunday. I was checking articles here for help, and then when it was hatch time BYC was offline, but we made it anyway...

This spring I finally found myself at Tractor Supply when they had chicks, and somehow came home with 4 little "Americana" sexed female chicks. I've had quail for years and have been wanting chickens, and finally had 2 acres where I could hide them. Technically I'm in a neighborhood, but since...
