4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[Sally Sunshine]

One of the chicks that pipped last night just cam out - a very healthy, noisy one (I hope she's a she!). And I hope that her noise spurs the others into action. I have another that pipped this morning and is half zipped already.

Has anyone ever feather sexed chicks successfully? I have eight ("don't count your chickens . . .") of these spoken for, but of course, my customers only want females. I was going to search youtube for feather sexing and do some research while I'm waiting for more action here. If anyone knows of a good site or pdf, please let me know!

I hope this thread doesn't turn into a bunch of random stuff. I'd be nice to actually keep it NYDH related.

My son dumped a bunch of pop corn on the floor and is laying on his belly on the floor eating the pop corn with the chickens
