6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

[Amberjem]

WELL i have an internal pip! Candled to draw the air cell before setting to lockdown, and saw this! Heard chirps and everything! What a surprise!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN DRAW THE AIR CELL OH WITH PENCIL? NOT ATTRACT IT SOMEHOW?

I candled the egg tonight that got dented by one of the broody hens the other day. So far I'm seeing veins and something jumping around inside the egg.

I hope it keeps on developing.

ohh bama has poop for new years maybe

I got the numbers wrong this morning, it was hard to count the little stinks. I had 19 hatch from 20 that went into lock down. One made it through the night, but didn't make it this morning. Really weird thing..won't get into it here. Never had this happen before. Anyway.........Who wants chicks?!
My favorite little blue, with fuzzy feet.


This is my favorite LF..it is more silver than it shows. Looks girly, most silvers are male.

A lot of chicks!

ohhh I want!

My chicks are starting to look so generic. Anyone have any idea what would be a good brand of chicken that will make a good life in 120° heat. Something other than RIR, Auracanas, leghorn, red star and barred rock? Suggestions please.

Hmm... I'm trying to remember what the really heat-tolerant chicken I read about a few weeks ago...Brahmas are neat and should be okay in that hot of weather. Egyptian Fayomis would probably be okay. Welsummers lay a nice dark-brown/speckled egg, and are the #1 choice for a Zombie Apocalypse..apparently http://blog.mypetchicken.com/2012/03/09/the-best-chicken-breed-to-choose-for-the-zombie-apocalypse/
If I remember what that super heat-hardy chicken is, I'll get back to you.

A few hatcheries have lists of heat hardy chicken breeds, maybe these will help

Well my husband agreed. I guess I will invest in a few Welsummers, just in case. LOL!
