The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[michaelf]

They are amazing and a lot different from Production Reds--Which is all the sell from Hatcheries. Mine are from Ron Fogle so they wind their way back to Mohawk V.

You have some really good reds !

Count me in!

I got an incubator for Valentines day last year and still haven't used it. This will be my first hatch. I am also new to chickens; we lost 6 of our first 10 last year (not counting the two "wild chickens" that adopted us). I will probably set a couple different colors of Brahmas and may throw something crazy in the mix.

So egg-cited!

You made it an entire year and didn't do a single hatch. I have no clue how you did it

.
ALL of us here know you are now officially going to be one of us, an addict a fellow hatcher.

So exciting, the first hatch is the best.

Note to self: NEVER underestimate a three day old White Faced Black Spanish Chick! Trying to photograph 6 chicks and a few eggs ended up with three broken eggs and chicks running all over the counter and luckily none fell on the concrete floor! So I had to do two chicks and those were very difficult!


These were from the weekends hatch, some of the large batch of "quality control" hatchlings

Just have to share, I love these birds!

Quote: I originally got this color chart for the CLs also it is a great chart for so many things like egg color and even matching up feather color.

It is the Online Auction Color chart(OAC)
