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

 About 4 hours.... roads are just to bad for a trip like that, but I appreciate it! I have searched all the for sale sites and papers with nothing.

Oh, bummer. My Pet Chicken has a low shipping requirement of like 3 chicks, but I doubt they are shipping now.

Please send me a pm with your nomination for best hatch participant!

There are a couple still hatching so we will wait a bit for the hatch rate contests.

Good Luck!

Everyone with silkies..... would a 10 day old chick be a good big brother/sister for 3 day old Hawke? I think I found her a friend!!

sure! GO FOR IT!


on my first hatch, I hatched a RIR. he was the ONLY chick from his batch of 6. I bought him a 6 day old silkie buddie to go with him. they took care of themselves...then I hatched a few other babies, 4, the next week. they all blended in with eachother. my elder silkie now lives with all of them. (she gets picked on the most though)





Silkies are very gentle and go well with other chickens. they don't pick on others very often

I have had to put chicks together. not quite that young though. I always put a barrier between them for a few days, where they can see each other but not peak. But not sure that was what you were hoping for.
