Wow that is definitely very weird!!! I am on Chrome too but the mobile version, dont have the BYC app

BYC has been messing up lately. I've been having problems for about a week or so. Desktop and mobile. App and Chrome.
I saw someone seemed excited about the app. The app doesn't allow you to post pictures or use voice type... At least I am not aware of anyone being able to.

Well phooey. Candled, and 9/17 are clear!!

All 3 of my EE look good, and 1/2 bantam. The 2nd bantam has a blood ring.
1 SLW, all 4 turken, 1 cochin, 1 GLW are clear..... As well as both dark brahma!!! Nooooooo!!

So down to: 3 EE, 1 bantam, (my eggs) 1 cochin, 1 LO, and one GLW. Pretty bad.... Don't think I'll be buying from this person again, unless day 14 reveals otherwise. I left all the clears in, even though some could almost be used as a lantern they are so see-through.

Oh no, did you contact them? If they are a good breeder they would want to know.

Hi

I've set 24 Buff Orpingtons, 18 Lavender Orpingtons, and 6 of my own Marans mixed eggs (likely one pure FBCM and the others FBCM x Olive Egger, Ameraucana, and Easter Egger). Most of them are not for me, but I will keep a few chicks hopefully! Hatch date May 12.

Never had Orpingtons, but always wanted them.

(Even though I definitely don't need more chickens. I will have a bit more space if I can finish renovating a shed this summer to put my pure breeding FBCM and BBS Ameraucana groups in.)

Welcome! Good luck with your hatch!

Am I too late to join??????

Just saw 6 hawks fly by. SIX. Thankfully the girls have been locked away since the hawk incident 2 weeks ago. But why would there be so many I wonder?

Oh, my. I hope your flock is safe.

I want to let a broody hen hatch this spring as well as incubating, but just when I actually want it no one seems dedicated

.

Except for my lone commercial White Leghorn who is fiercely broody. I don't trust her at all, I don't think she has good intentions.

I hope you get a good broody soon.

Gator supervising and relaxingin the dirt. Dug himself a nice hole lol

He sure looks comfy!

Gonna hatch, hmmmmm, tolbunts. Also bought myself some Orpington eggs, yay!

Welcome!

Count me in for May, I just set 6 Svart hona eggs. One was cracked so I glued it, we shall see if it will survive.

Welcome! Good luck with the cracked one!

My April hatch is over. 54 put of 70 eggs. Just a tad bit over 77% hatch rate/ fertile eggs. Over all was almost 73%. Only four eggs set weren't fertile.

I'll post pictures tomorrow when I pull them out. These will be on the April Hatch thread.

I'll post what I'm setting when I get them set. I'll be setting on May 5th. I just don't know how many until I get them set.
