Ohh I have a bit of reading to do lol. I decided I'll join this hatch along and I'll be doing Coturnix quail so I can make the date

I don't think there is and it is certainly an annoying beep! I have started tuning it out thankfully.

Thank you! At least I know I'm not going crazy and there really isn't a way to turn it off. lol

If by some miracle you ever figure it out, please let me know

My dang chicks took an extra day to hatch. I put 30 duck eggs in today, the 15th. Do they still count towards the hatchalong? If not, I'll be adding a few chicken eggs on the chicken day.

Yes!

Loaded up the big yellow 'bator bus today. It's a full load riding to their lockdown. (The tinted eggs are Ayam Cemanis incubation for friends. The others are ride-alongs of French Black Copper Marans and blue-feathered Olive Eggers.)

I'll be saving eggs for Round #2 of incubation to set on the 21st with the Easter Hatch-along. Been getting a lot of calls for Marans chicks lately.

Very nice!

Chicks don't count because a few are likely to die.

Layers don't count because they are providing food.

Broodies don't count because they are incubators.

Roosters don't count because they are security.

Meaties don't count because they are food.

Named birds don't count because they are pets.

I don't have any birds. I better get some!

I added more duck eggs yesterday since we have a 5 day period for the eggs. I'm going to see what chicks we get with this hatch that's due on the 22nd and figure out if I'm putting more chicken eggs in.

I'm not going to sell any chicks due to the circumstances in the world right now.

I don't know whether I could even sell chicks or poults here. There aren't any ads on Craig's List... or are people not using that any more?

Some people use Craigslist but here, there's pennswoods.net and Facebook groups. We're also gaining quite the following for our monthly tractor supply livestock swaps

I chat with people in a local chicken facebook group and I keep a waiting list for those that would like chicks. If I'm having trouble rehoming a rooster for example then I also use MeWe and Craigslist.
