13th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[BenlynFarm]

I’ll likely join in! As long as I can stand to wait to fill the incubators!

 

[SheaLoner]

Hoping to hatch this year!! Will be either banty/silkie crosses or Easter eggers.

I'll definitely be hatching hookbill eggs and khaki Campbell eggs for easter!! (Maybe WH.)

I want to be in on it! I'll hatch Easter Eggers and Seabrights!

Thanks for the info.



I keep seeing "Sit on your hands" advised in the hatching threads so I *thought* it might be OK to just have my son watch the humidity with instructions to keep the lid closed and let nature happen. But I needed the reassurance.

You do want them to get out of the incubator when they are dry though. Even though the chicks can make it three days, It is no very good for them and some will die.

Will it still count if I ask a friend (not a BYC member) to set eggs for me for this contest? I would let her borrow my incubator and provide the eggs. I haven't asked, and I may end up doing it myself. Just curious if this was allowed.

Yes, they are your eggs!

We have had this happen before and counted them for the hatch a long.
