Its that time of year where we start gearing up for the NYD hatch. Mahonri has decided to pass the torch to a different hatchaholic this year. Come on over and join the fun. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/720896/4th-annual-byc-nyd-hatch-a-long

Quote: You don't have any issues with that number of drakes? Thanks for the response and the "sense" - it's the duck faces that I just can't get rid of. The mess... I'd love to get rid of it. But I figure it's a small price to pay to have these little quackers outside in about a month. I...

Quote: You are getting brown Ia. Blues? That seems contradictory The Ia Blue that hatch brown seem to get better coloring. Bhep and La Mike each got a brown chick from my eggs. In all the Ia Blues that I've hatched (alright, not a lot because I send them to everybody else), I've only got one...

That's great Melissa Rose. I'm hoping you get all brown ones! None of my Ia Blue that hatched were brown but I have more in the incubator.

Update: I think I'm at 57 chicks plus 5 that died pipping.

I got a NN from a Wellie egg last night. Melissa Rose, anything yet?

I'm setting more today. Speckled Sussex from Hot2Pot, Langshan, bantam Langshan, and others.

Quote: Local time. So everybody has to wait until we Left Coasters get to the Magic Moment. And there's also the Easter Hatch to look forward to, with probably most of the same participants. Easter? Who's waiting for Easter?!? We have Valentines day right around the corner...

Sure is yellow.

@lotsapaints I have 2 NH out @Hot2Pot A Light Sussex is out. @ Everybody This is the best hatch rate I have had since the beginning of October.

I'd like to introduce you to the first 7 of my 9 chicks. 8 are from who knows (although 1 has puffy cheeks so I'm guessing my Black Ameraucana is the Daddy. ) My 9th chick out is a Wellie covered by ? The 2 in the incubator are a yellow mutt and a Black Wellie cross. Woops, forgot the pic

Quote: I made the picture visible.

first chick is out. It is the one that was beeping at me last night while candling. It is a mutt, but still a chick. Hopefully this is a change in my luck. There are as more mutts pipping and a bantam Langshan.

Quote: This is the first GLP to hatch from my pair. I have 3 set in this batch. Your chick's dad is my entry for most colorful rooster contest.

I have a pip which shocks me. Usually my eggs are late. The pip is the egg that was "beeping" at me last night.

Thanks for the help. I forgot to write down a bantam Ameraucana on my list. Lotsapaint and Pidgey, any from me hatch?
