INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[Nwchickma]

Well these little boys have started to crow! Unfortunately they have to go as I can't have roos where I live. 6weeks old, from @ellymayRans gorgeous birds. Black Bantam Cochin.
I'm willing to meet you up to an hour from 60559 if anyone is interested. PM me

Edited BC I haven't had my coffee yet and guess I thought you could just guess the breed! Ugh.

No new progress from my 2nd pipped egg but it's still alive. I now have another egg with a pip and have moved the single hatch Babe out to the brooder.
So sweet. Not startled by me a bit and wants the attention.

I lost two more of my momma broodys chicks last night. Apparently my skunk wasn't the culprit. WHAT is in my coop?!?!

I need your help with my 4-H project please!

This is my first year in 4-H. I signed up for the poultry project but I don't want any of my babies to get sick so I am not taking them to the fair.

So I decided to do 1 or 2 Poultry posters. I want to show everyone how great the chickens (and their owners) in Indiana are!

My first poster I want to make about Bantams. Then I want to work on one about Heritage Chickens.

Will you please PM me or my mom @flyladyrocks pictures of your chickens? I am still figuring out how I am doing this

but this is what I think I want - especially close ups of:
1. Picture of Chicks
2. Pictures of Adults
3. Pictures of their eggs - and maybe some bantam eggs with big chicken eggs to compare
4. Your name, and/or the name of your farm, the city and county you live in
5. Anything you want to say about your chickens - a quote you don't mind me putting on the poster

If it is easier to e-mail pictures, when you PM us I can give you my mom's e-mail address.

I am so excited to show off how wonderful Indiana BYCers are!

Thanks for your help!

One more thing - my first poster I need to have done by June 1 for our township fair so if you can send stuff ASAP I would really appreciate it!

Anyone else's roosters fighting this weekend? I'm thinking the weather maybe. These boys have lived together for over a year. Not sure what's up with them.

@chickiefreak : here's a couple photos of our heritage/rare breed chickens (white chanteclers & iowa blues):

Congratulations! Is this my "grandchick"?

I took videos of my first peachick hatching--so exciting!

I hate to hear that. Hope you catch the varmint.

Sadly no. I did get 9 eggs from my hen and saw them mating but none showed any development. Couldn't quite tell after already incubating if they were just not fertile.. the 4 that are hatching/hatched are from a fellow BYCer. 4 out of 7 made it..awesome in my book of shipped eggs!
