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

[Mama Bay]

I've done the same thing. I hatched 28. So far I have given or sold 19. I bought 3 for me of "cute" bantams I wanted and 6 of other breeds because I was sure every one I hatched was a rooster! Oh my gosh! Overrun with adorable chicks...smh 6 more leave next weekend.

I'm going to be so sad when they start to go to new homes

Buying chicks guaranteed a good hatch!

Exactly!!!

Here are two of my Hal runners just big enough to keep my lonely gosling company =)

So I have a question for everyone... I have a chick that's about a week old and is consistently chirping, and I don't see him eating or drinking at all.. I've tried bringing him to the water and dipping his beak and still he doesn't drink, same with the food.. He just stands in one stop with his eyes closed chirping while all the other chicks are very lively and trample him over at times... What should I do?

I calibrated my dang thermometer and moved the incubator to my husband's man cave. Worked great!
