Laree's "I CAN'T STOP MYSELF FROM HATCHING!!!" Hatch-a-long

post #1 of 1112
Thread Starter 

Hello Fellow Hatchaholics!

As the Easter Hatch rolls up, some of us hatchaholics find ourselves scrambling to fill the lonely gaping void that is our incubators.

Do you hear yours calling to you too?  Does it cry out for eggies?


Then join us.....join us.....

We'll have some informal contests, and then do a drawing at the end where I will give away a chickbator.  The winner can keep it for themself, or they can give it to an unsuspecting friend and spread the hatching addiction like wildfire!

Week 3 Contest:  SHOW US YOUR FOUL FOWL
To Win   Do you have pictures of that fuzzy chick that turned into that awkward half fuzzy, half feathered "teen"?  Do you have pictures of a turkey with a face that only a mother would love?    Well post 'em here!  For the week three contest submit a picture of a bird that you own (can be a turkey, chicken, duck etc) that can only be described as visagely (Yup I made that up) impaired.  Just post your picture on the thread and I will put it on the contest page once I build it.  You can start posting your pictures now.

Can it count that I farmed out 48 eggs to a school to hatch for me?

Can I count the ones I already set?

Can I count the ones that are already hatching?

Let' say...anything already cooking or set before the 14th of May. Loosey Goosey with the rules here, since we aren't trying to  all hatch at the same time this run.

I'll join in!  After the Easter hatch I wasn't going to hatch for awhile but I had 30 or so duck eggs just calling to me and I want to see if my chicken eggs are fertile sooo in the incubator they went.  I set them on April 30.  I'll have to get a count when I get home.
