    BYC's 2026 Valentine's Day Hatch-Along

    The incubator has been cleaned and sanitized and set out to dry so we can pack it up until the Easter hatch. And we have a total of 27 (first 18 pictured)! Only 2 of the eggs that looked good going into lockdown failed to hatch. That puts me 1/4 of the way to my goal of hatching 100 eggs. We...

    The first 3 of Rose's chicks. Look at those fluffy cheeks! Two of the buckeye chicks. I'm a little confused about how pale they are, the majority of the buckeyes I hatched last year were a much darker red. Only 3 eggs left (not counting the 4 we don't expect to hatch) and one of them is...

    By process of elimination, Gala @TwoCrows was the second of Rose's eggs to hatch. I don't see anymore zips at the moment, and I've almost been up for 20 hours now, so I'm going to go to bed and hope to wake up to 8 more chicks in the morning.

    Will you raise a chicken breed you do not like?

    No. I am willing to try breeds I don't think I'll like. But if it turns out I was right and I don't care for the breed I'll be moving them on. For me chickens are a hobby, I am never going to make money on them so there is no point in me raising breeds I don't like just because they're popular...

    I think we're up to 8? There's a lot of little babbys popcorning around in the middle incubator. One or two of them are buckeyes (red)!

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    Looking closer at the barred silkie rooster I'm not 100% certain if he's double or single barred. I'm also not sure if he's solid black based or if there's another pattern (like silver duckwing or partridge) present. I'm not very good at discerning patterns in silkied birds.

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    Since we know that the hen has one copy of recessive white (from the jersey giant hen), yes. Two copies of recessive white will hide all black based colors (red can "leak" through, as recessive and dominant white only affect black pigment). Recessive and dominant white are not sex linked in any...

    We're up to four chicks! Two green eggs and two brown eggs. Unfortunately I don't know which eggs have hatched, we're watching remotely from cameras.

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    So the white rooster is the offspring of the cuckoo silkie and the white jersey giant, right? In that case, he should have inherited one gene for barring (assuming the silkie has two copies of the barring gene). So under the white, this rooster is barred. Assuming the white in the jersey giant...

    Envy is out! A perfect little blue (barred) baby! Egg #6 (Ambrosia) is pipped now. And there are 6 more brown eggs pipped, bringing us up to a grand total of 12 currently pipped. Cortland, Granny, Crabapple, 19, and 30 are pipped.

    Envy is zipping along at a steady pace! One of the other green dggs has pipped, but I can't tell who it is. Four of the brown eggs have pipped! And egg#12, Crabapple, is wiggling!
