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

[nate1the1great1]

I don't sell to the public anymore. Too much aggravation. My feed store loves me and wish I would just become a hatchery. 

Thanks, Ron. At this point it isn't going to effect me much.

 Sorry to hear that, Nate. Any chance they could go on a collecting spree before the 2 week window for fertility is up and send you some?

They are keeping them for themselves... They said to call in a few months to see, but that's not hatching time for me... Lol I am trying to find someone...

Quote: That sucks. I hope someone can send you some eggs. I know we have at LEAST one person that raises them, but I can't remember his name to tag him. Wish I could help you more.

Added 20 more eggs. Attempting my first staggered hatch!

I'm planning to do that soon. My old bator is still good if I fix the hole in it. I plan to use it for hatching only if it can continue to hold a steady temp. Second heat burn it's gotten, but this one is inside the lid.

I have 8 days til lockdown on the first clutch, so 8 days to make a coolerbator.

So "show girls" is an actual breed ? I've been thinking it was good SOP chickens at a poultry show.

Well this is a buncha crap. What is the shelf life for these various meds?

I was wondering that too.

[COLOR=0000CD]All the large farming operations already have a veterinarian on staff, so this is no big deal to them. This will only really be a problem for the small farm operations. Surprise, surprise... [/COLOR] [COLOR=006400]Today's hatch[/COLOR] [COLOR=8B4513]And I found out something interesting today - when you breed a Svarthöna (fibromelanistic) to a cockerel split to chocolate and the resulting chick (it's a girl!! ) is chocolate, it makes EVERYTHING chocolate![/COLOR] [COLOR=8B4513]The comb, the beak, the legs and all are chocolate! I imagine the bones and meat will be chocolate, too. I haven't been able to get myself to eat the black meat on the Svarthöna culls yet[/COLOR] [COLOR=8B4513], but chocolate chicken?[/COLOR] :/ [COLOR=8B4513] Maybe... [/COLOR]

Chocolate colored chickens.. Hmmm wonder how they taste? Lol

A friend of mine took a photo of a silkie that she bought from me..and got this! She made the Valentine's Day quotes for it. Have to share. Note, the heart butt! How cute is that??

EEs are fertile and CAKE's in the oven! e

Best use of checking fertility!!

I don't know they were a breed either. Hopefully mine will hatch only showing development on 6 out of 17 shipped. Lockdown in two days
