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

[TJordan]

It looks strange, but I would mark it and leave it for now.

I agree. Leave it. I cracked open the 1 that looked simular to that and found a pretty developing chick. I cried.

1st Prize
Chicken Swing

Are you wondering if this thing is for real?
We wondered the same thing, incredulous that chickens could actually enjoy swinging.
We thought it was just a glorified roosting pole. We're happy to say that we were wrong!
For more details on the Chicken Swing click HERE



2nd Prize
Chickie-Puffs

This healthful supplement is not only good for your chicks,
it'll encourage them to eat more! Just check out this video, which shows how chicks prefer the feed with our all-natural Chickie Puffs mixed in. They love this supplement because it's chock-full of crushed Musca domestica pupae,
and even day-old baby chicks instinctually know that it's the "good stuff."

3rd Prize
Chicken Treat Ball

This treat ball offers a fun and healthy way to treat your pet chickens.
It gives your chickens a challenge and helps to prevents boredom
(and boredom can often lead to picking).

Set 4 Belgian Quail d'Anvers eggs for the hatch-a-long. Candled yesterday and sadly none seem to be developing. I was so hoping for wee babies! Disappointing.
