Valentine's Day Hatch - Page 104

Congrats to all!

Congrats everyone!!!

Thanks!

Yeah, those health food store cage-free eggs are what shot me in the foot.  Eleven eggs clear, not even fertile.  But the one little chick hatched, that's why I named her Miracle.  Obviously a marans or marans cross.  Someone came on Saturday and bought every chick I was willing to sell, she got to stay.  Hopefully she continues to be the she I keep referring to. 

We had fun taking the eggs on vacation, of course we did have to take turns at the rest areas so the engine could keep running.  I didn't want the "hen" to get off the nest too many times.

Do we have the official call on the All In The Numbers & Poem/Story contests?  I so enjoyed this hatch and all the competitions.  I think I entered everything I could.

Thanks again for your efforts to run it all.

Congratulations on All the beauteous chicklets Everyone  The contests were really fun and I still need to get some chic pics of Jim's beauteous Iowa Blues! 6 are black and 1 is kind of a chipmunk brown striped !!! Nellies are gorgeous as well !!! I have been really busy getting things ready for spring and getting my NPIP # issued! My sweety bought me some polycarbonate roofing for my run and we had an electrician hook up the electric to it

This was the first big hatch-along I've done........now I'm hooked  Great job everybody!congrats to the great hatch rates This was lots of fun In a while I'l have to start getting ready for the easter hatch along........these hatch alongs just get bigger and bigger, lol Incubating might be one of those compulsive disorders like hoarding......maybe worse....

SuperChemicalGirl with a hatch rate of 67.74%.  She set 31 eggs and had 21 hatch.

 

Contact me with your choice of eggs and when you would like them.  Some breeds are booked already for the Easter hatch.

 

Second place was Illia with a hatch rate of 66.67% with 28 of 42 hatched.

 

Third place was debs_flock with a hatch rate of 64.44% with 29 of 45 hatched.  (This is amazing with all of the store bought eggs that she had in the incubator as well as taking the eggs on vacation with her.

 

Congratulations and THANKS to all.  This was quite a bit of fun.  Maybe we can do it again next year. 

 

Wow! Thanks, Jim. The last thing I need is more chickens, but needs are different than wants, aren't they? They'll hatch nicely for the Easter Hatch!

Thanks again for running this hatch and the swap, I'd certainly join next year if you ran it again.

Congrats all!!

Chickies here are growing fast and the most bouncy, hoppy bunch I've ever had.

I sponsored the "It's in the numbers" contest but sadly wasn't able to keep up with everyone.  I will gladly award the prize if we can discover a winner..
