Hey guys anyone know if its true that BCM hatch early? The shells are so dark I just cant see anything.

Everything I've read is they are more a day or two later than early.

Oh my gosh, I'm a chicken addict!!!! I cant stop thinking about chickens, chicks, and roosters!! I've just purchased almost 20 chicken books (thanks to amazon), egg shaped salt & pepper shakers, egg shaped spatula, 4 egg collecting baskets, and 4 personalized egg stampers. My poor husband is trying his best to restrain me but I want more, I want more, I want more!!! Fellow chicken lovers when will the crazies stop?? Hahahaha!

Am--- Sounds like me (and most of our members!) I love to look online at anything chicken-related. The bad thing is that my sister is visiting for the weekend, and I'd rather be out with my flock. Yikes! We did do some gardening together with the hens today, but not as long as I would've liked. I know I'm being selfish, but I am addicted to being outside with my girls.

So I never thought I would care about stupid chickens, I ate chicken, thought they weren't smart, thought they were just dirty birds. Then I got ten this spring....... I just wanted eggs. Don't get me wrong, I am an animal lover. I have had more dogs, horses, cat, parrots, fish, alpacas, that I loved.... bla bla bla, you name it I have had it. I am a dog groomer by trade. I am border line vegetarian. I only eat dairy, eggs, fish, and chicken..... nope not anymore.( My best friend brought a whole cooked chicken to my house tonight and I nearly gagged, mostly because I have 3 week old cochins and wyandottes in the room 15 feet away from my kitchen and it might as well have been a cooked puppy to my brain) I'm losing it huh? lol. So I realized.....I LOVE CHICKENS. Yep I said it. I'm hooked. Darn birds. I hug them. They love me. It's pathetic. I'm not sure when in the 7 weeks that I have had them living in my house, occasionally watching t.v. with my husband and I, that this attachment manifested itself, but I am irreversibly addicted to this feathery, constantly pooping, pecks my fingers, dusty, awesome adorable creature. I can't stop trolling BYC. I hope all of you, my Indiana friends understand my new illness, and can put up with my constant questions and thirst for poultry knowledge. Because I fear it isn't going away any time soon. I just thought you all should know this. Thanks for reading.

Watching SNL with my peeps...

Aren't they great company! I understand completely what you mean. This is my 2nd time owning chickens and there is a big difference between layers and meat birds.

hehe don't feel bad. My birds bring me happiness and relaxation too. When one of them decides its lap time with me, It makes it all worthwhile.
