    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    So, I learned:. take the pic of the broody & chicks asap, they get big & feather fast. I need better lighting in the Incubating Room, may put in a ceiling fan with a light! Better heat! Get a good photo of the chick & egg as it's hatching. And you need to have better weather & a good...

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    Here is some of my Marans -chicks & my heating pad setup with puppy pads. Work long hours, so it's easier to cleanup when I get home. I may have a broody, we'll see if she'll adopt them.

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    I've got 13! I lost two, one was upside down pip, and the other died and he was almost completely unzipped. The last one just got out of the egg a few minutes ago. Since they were dark Marans eggs, I couldn't see if they were saddle shaped air cells. The rest were not fertile, sure glad they...

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    Power bumps are messing with my Harris Farm incubator. It keeps track of the days until lockdown and hatch day. I have some french copper Maran eggs in. Wow, good thing I checked. Had to correct the day setting.

    The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

    Then I noticed a cord wrapped around his foot and leg. I unwrapped it and left it connected. Thought he wasn't going to be able to walk, but he's working it out. He's tiny. Here is a couple of pics of my Easter Eggers that hatched. I'll post a pic of the lil one later, we're in the middle...

    Read on this website to get a spray bottle of water and mist your duck eggs. (Not sure how often). Someone shipped me two dirty duck eggs and they hatched. You could probably get some eggs from someone on this website!
