The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

[Happy Chooks]

I will be picking up 48 eggs on Saturday, and by then I will have a full 24 bantam eggs! This will be my largest hatch yet

One of the ladies I am getting eggs from has barnevelders, spitzhaubens, large fowl cochins, and brahmas! I am excited to add some new breeds to my flock.

Of all the breeds I have had, Barnevelders have the best temperament. You will love them. I too will be hatching Barnevelders to rebuild my flock.

They are so pretty! I'm super excited to have some. They will also add frame to some of my lighter hens for better dual purpose birds when I hatch from my flock. I've got tons of EE cross hens and one of my roosters is a polish. I need more frame so the extra roos are larger at slaughter!

[I Love Layers]

was told he was breed material I got him by chance last year not knowing he was a Roo was told he was a pullet but I was duped he came off of a farm in Florida. Now he is alone with no hens and I'm not a breeder nor fancier

Whoever told you that was not right.

Well my cemani eggs made it im setting them toommorow so they hatch a day early and another full incubator on Sat or Sun.

That's my eggs that i had shiped 2 me that broken one is one less chance to get a cemani but that's okay Maby the year of the rooster will help my hatching eggs.
