I set some Call Duck eggs, Blue Maran eggs, Bielefelder eggs, and Pita Pinta eggs. I'll be too busy this week to do it any other time. :oops: My oldest son had to have emergency finger surgery and I've been running him back and forth to doctor appointments over 2 hours away from home and the surprise party for my husband is on Saturday.

Welcome to the 12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

It's that time again! Every year, many members come together to set eggs to hatch on the exact same day - the day BEFORE Easter. As a group last year we had 3173 eggs set for hatching! If you are new to hatching, this is a great way to get a lot of help, tips, and advice. Join in the fun for the largest BYC Hatch-Along of the year!

Set Chicken eggs on Saturday, March 13th at Noon (whatever time zone you are in). Other poultry breed setting dates listed in the table below:

I’m in. I don’t recall ever writing a reply or thread. I’ve been raising chickens for 7-8 years and have only set 6 eggs in all that time. This site has been a wonderful resource for gaining knowledge and providing information. I have built my incubator this morning. I plan to set 15 eggs.
