The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Cynthia12]

Oh oz..even I am in envy, even though we aren't getting the snow. Would love to be near a beach again.

Me too! Me too!

Not sure what kind I'll be hatching out, but probably some Olive Eggers, Partridge Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and maybe some Blue Laced Red Wyandottes.

Welcome! Glad to have you with us. It sounds like you have a great assortment of eggs you will be hatching.

Are they all from your own flock or are you ordering?

You better be careful... you will end up with a line of chicken crazy people at your doorstep lol

Sounds like a lot more fun than my office job!

Agri-tourism - Filipino style

A future project

I'd totally do it!

All from my flock.
The Partridge Rocks are leftovers from the kids 4-H project and they just started laying the first of the month...I hope their eggs will be ready to set by then...at least a few.
I have a three Americanas hens which I am crossing with a Splash Copper Maran rooster hoping to get some Olive Eggers.
I have three Rhode Island Red Hens and a RIR Rooster.
And then I was able to get 3 BLRW hens and 1 rooster for a Christmas present. They have been molting but I'm hoping they will start back to laying in time for the hatch-a-long.
I have a few that are mixed hens too.

Side note: I also have some young Silver Laced Wyandottes that I'm hoping to cross with the BLRW to get some Lavender. I'm also planning on crossing the SLWs with the RIR Rooster too. I have lots of plans...just not enough room or time

I think we all feel the same way... I want to hatch everything and keep every thing and have a pen for a gazzilion breeds lol... I eventually come back to my senses and have to downsize, which is a bummer lol. This year I have decided to rehome my flock of turkeys and maybe some chicken layers that way I have more space to work with 2 chicken breeds, and keep maybe one small layer flock. Wish I could keep everything.

You sound like you have a very good flock going. Are they all from serious breeders, or hatchery? And GREAT Christmas gift, BLRW! the Lavender Wyandotte project, sounds fun.

I will join for the first time! My birds turned 20 1/2 weeks last weekend so I'm hoping I can put some Easter Eggers in there. How appropriate.
If not then I have other birds I can use.

Good luck everyone!
