    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!

    Staggered hatch question

    I started a batch of eggs about a week ago, they are silkie and silkie mixes. With winter my roosters fertility has dropped quite a bit so out of 20 eggs I only ended up with 9 developing.
