The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[Eps32]

I was given a Lavender English Orpington roo, hatched from a papabrooder egg, by a wonderful lady that i met here on BYC.  @cree57i
. I went last week and picked up 5 LO chicks hoping to get him a girlfriend. lol. Also i have 18 BBS in the incubator AND 12+ Black, BBS, and BBS frizzle coming from Hog Creek Ranch. I am patiently waiting to get a Silver Laced Orp, my dream chicken.

I think everyone wants silver laced lol. There expensive though. And I just spent quite a bit on Orust chicken eggs for the hatch along. Silver laced will be my next project for sure though.

Still waiting for the Polish eggs to arrive... It's like waiting on a grandchild to be born! Our 1st and only Polish hatched Saturday & we are hooked. Nobody can look at "him" without laughing. "Sir Topham Hatt"

Aww, so cute I just picked up 2 bantam polish chicks yesterday. They're rediculously cute!

Where'd you get your lavender Ameracauna eggs?

I'm hoping to get some in the eggs for education coming from mypetchicken but we'll have to see

I got them from a guy here in SC , we drove about an hr. He's in Chester, SC. I think he's willing to ship. Real nice guy, ill put link below. If you contact him just tell him Christina sent you. He got his lavs from TX (Paul Smith). Hoping for a good hatch. I'm very new at this but the eggs from my girls are doing good so far, so hoping these will too.

Ok experts. Still need help on this one. One day off 8 weeks old. Roo or pullet I'm stumped on this guy. Day was a barred rock mom was a EE.

I would say pullet, but the only real answer is more time

So when does lockdown start and what do I do when it starts

Lockdown day 18-hatch. Lay them on their side, fill water to get humidity up to 65-70ish, close the lid and DONT OPEN UNTIL FLUFFY BUTTS are here.

Ya only own one EE so I'm not familiar with sexing this breed.
