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

[Happy Chooks]

Thank you all for the help and advice. I talked to a friend that deals with chick health issues a lot and had them come take a look at it. She had to be culled late last night. From what my friend could see it wasnt an actual leg issue, it was a neurological issue that prevented the use of the leg.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

its okay. It is always sad to have to cull them but it was for the better.

Our very first chicks hatching... number two... Number three is pushing out of the shell, right now, just one left under this broodie, four more to follow, under an Silkie hen, in about two days....little excited here ; )

Beautiful! What kind of hen is she?

She's a Buff Orpington, that breed seemed to suit us, strong broody instincts, and very friendly!

I have some Buff Leghorn hens. 3 of them went broody, never expected that!

My partridge wyandotte hen is sitting on 12, due the 15th. She hatched 10/12 for me in October when she was only 8 1/2 months old & I gave her another 12 to brood. She only lost 1 that got stuck in the cage wire. Love my Party Girl! She does all the work & I get all the chicks...lol
