5th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2014 Hatch-A-Long

[msladyhawke]

Oh why not? I said my silkies would be my last hatch of the year - and they will be because these guys won't hatch till next year

I'm in!

I like the way you think! Great reasoning in my opinion!!

 

[Aphrael]

Oh yeah….not sure if I've mentioned before, but, Orpingtons are the VERY best!

I took some pics of my one of my Black Pullet just this evening…the light was a bit off. And this girl has the oddest tail shape…I really must post her on the Orp thread and see what the experts thinkj.

What a pretty lady.

I just love all the rotund fluffness they have going on.

I'll give it a shot, so long as I can get the hens to lay.
I'll be out looking my roosters over tomorrow picking out the best one.

 

[Peep-Chicken]

Ugh, I really do want to join, I just don't have a bator! I will see bout making one...

Bantumbury, my little buff chick has a buff orp momma & an EE daddy. Puffiest cheeks ever!

I actually get calls for birds year round. I try to keep several age groups available to choose from.

If only the quail pen was ready! The semester doesn't end for another 2 weeks, and I don't think I can finish it quickly enough, but we'll see. I really want to join the hatch-a-long!!!

how do the barnyard mix chickens sell?? i was thinking of hatching some to sell but i dont know how they would sell compared to pure breeds

 

[SilkieSensation]

Mine are all covered by blue & green egg roos so I sell them as EE/OE. They actually sell pretty well. I get $3 each at hatch & raise prices a little at a time as they grow. A 10 wk old pullet goes for about $8-10.

I'm in again this year!!

I'll be incubating blue wheaten/wheaten ameraucanas and black copper, blue copper, and splash marans
