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

[Cynthia12]

Working on 3 new pens this weekend! Having a critical space problem!

Ummm. . . you are needing space for??

I like that-space problem

Solved mine- the ag teacher at the school is not using their huge coop and run and will let me keep some chickens in there-provided I help the kids hatch some chicks out next fall. Win-win!!

Got my new incubator today. Woohoo

Very nice! Nice big window there.

Her Silver Ameraucana i believe and yes she's blaming you.

Hmmm... I can see the appeal in Cochins certainly. As weird as it sounds, leghorns are my all time favorite breed. They aren't rare or fancy at all, but they can be the bravest and most loyal companions, sleek and beautiful, and sometimes entirely skip molt and some will give you an egg every day until they die.

I love my leghorns! Sweetest birds, and they give me a lot of eggs! I'm going to the feed store for one tomorrow. I have hatched them, but these are just as sweet, will also pick up a black sex link. Have had issues with them before, being not so nice. My first was so sweet, so I have tried a few times again, hope this time works. I need some black in my flock of layers.

This is my Lovey vwhi I think looks kinda grey in this light but usually seems quite silver. Idk what she is but I think she's just gorgeous. We also have two white pullets (still second guess one of the sometimes) a white cockeral, a buff pullet, and a partridge cockeral-who has a lot of red in him

Oh she is cute! I like her color, She looks like a Gray Silkie. Im not sure but I think also referred to as Silver Partridge... Though I may stand to be corrected.

I cant tell but does she have a red or brown tone in her wing?

So put 15 eggs in the incubator 21 days ago. Fourteen chicks out and a late bloomer hatching now. 100% hatch rate can't complain.

Since you asked

I am hatching isbars, SFH's and isabelle leghorns to enlarge my flock, as well as some accidental LV marans, that just happened, cause I LOVE ME SOME BLUE BIRDS. The silver, LV and buff AM's that are because you showed that gorgeous picture and a couple of penedesencas that also happened by accident.

That should make anybody that was feeling like they have a chicken problem feel better.
