Finally got the first eggs, and it wasn't from Scramble at all! She's still just plugging along, not laying eggs. My wee Anna chicken (a crested cream legbar) has produced two tiny blue eggs
It's that time again! Every year, many members from all over the world come together to set eggs to hatch on the exact same day, April 16th, 2022 - the day BEFORE Easter. As a group last year we had 3666 eggs set for hatching! If you are new to hatching, this is a great way to get a lot of help, tips, and advice. Join in the fun for the largest BYC Hatch-Along of the year!

Hi!
I’d love to enter this great contest!
Sounds like a lot of fun!!
Included is a photo of an abandoned Muscovy ducking that was born premature with her yolk sac not absorbed. She was weak and couldn’t walk.
I nursed her back to health with 24/7 TLC
She is now healthy and beautiful!
