    Hi! I’m hatching Muscovy eggs for the first time with a borrowed incubator (and it’s been a long while since I’ve done any hatching) and looking for some advice- though I’m sure this is a dumb question I want to make sure I get it right!

    What do you feed your quail and chicken Chicks?

    Hello everyone! I was curious, what do you all feed your chicks? Quail chicks as well as chicken chicks. I would usually feed my quail chicks 27% protein and I can’t get a hold of my usual chick crumb for the chicken chicks, so I was wondering if 27% would be too much for their kidneys to...

    100% dry hatch or partial dry hatch?

    ive been having problems with chicks both making it to hatching but drowning in the egg and also chicks dying after about day 7-10. i suspect the latter is because i have to open the incubator once a day to refill the humidity since i cant do it from outside. im looking into trying a dry hatch...

    Is this the ring of death?

    This egg has been consistently growing since the beginning but has this bullseye type of shape when candling. It’s day 22, they’ve been on lockdown since day 18. No pipping from any of the eggs yet but this is the only one that looks this. It seems to have gotten more pronounced since...

    I'm planning to hatch chicks for sale for the first time soon.

    I've been around small scale chicken flocks my whole life. My grandma had chickens, my mom had chickens, and I've had a flock of around a dozen for the past 5 years. This year I'm upscaling and doing things differently. I currently have 5 roosters, 35 hens, and one pekin duck hen. I have...

    BYC Valentine's Day Hatch-a-Long

    Valentine's Day is Friday, February 14th, 2025. February is when the chicks start hitting the farm stores. Hatcheries do well in February, as there aren't many of us hatching now. One reason is we aren't getting too many eggs, if any. This year, I'm going to save up any eggs I get, set...

    Serama Egg Hatching Day

    In the process of hatching Serama eggs and such, I have found that many people get many different hatch days with their Serama eggs. So, I decided to create a poll so that beginning hatchers can know the average hatch day and plan accordingly. Thank you for contributing your experiences!
