Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long! - Page 1062

I feel bad for gumming up the gears by being so late. I knew I was starting late, but I didn't realize that my birds would be less than accommodating and be slow to hatch. Hopefully this means they're girls, and they're getting ready to make their big appearance. 

Hatch Cam goes live approx 5/21. Hatching 7 legbars http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wendywr1

 

I have 25ish chickens, including legbars, coronation sussex, FBCM, polish, ameraucanas, EE and OE

hugs.gif So sorry, henneypenny, I sympathize with you. On the hatch I am attempting now, I have 3 thermometers, two with hygrometers. 

Good luck with your duckie babies! fl.gif

She is a cutie-pie!  I love the face!  Talk about your MAJOR Stink Eye!  That caption should read,

 

"You think I'm playing.  Get me out of this fake egg and get me some buddies, and I mean NOW!"

 



 

no, the caption should be, "Don't even think of touching the chocolate"

I'm checking in from Juneau, DH says we had 13 not hatch. So that's a 62% hatch rate for me.
