    The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    I am beyond excited! First time bator, went through all the ups and downs of the LG incubator. Last night when I was moving eggs for lockdown I was astounded by the heft of my Marans eggs, I never candled them, WAY too dark even for our mag light LED. Best (or most disappointing) Easter weekend...

    Is it too late to join?! I had set my eggs on the correct date, but at about 6am since I worked that day. Set 7 black copper Marans and 9 BLR Wyandotte eggs, candled them yesterday and only had 3 duds. I am so looking forward to this!!
