12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[LadiesAndJane]

5 to 7 days before and after easter

Thanks!
Just heard from the breeder, she will be shipping Monday or Tuesday. Should just make it under the wire!
Would love to enter the "shipped farthest contest", 2657 miles.
13 silkie eggs, mixed lavender and paint. I will let you know when I set them!

I had a dog that was very interested once he realized it meant babies.

Oh dear! Did your dog try to “help”? My cat sleeps in the room where the incubator is, so I’m hoping to train her to “leave it” So far so good

My broody is on five eggs!

The wait for noon to set is maddening! I think the worst thing is I haven’t chosen my eggs out of the 17 I collected.

 

[Cynthia12]

Set ALL the eggs!

Yep!

Eww, had to take out an oozing egg this morning. I was right, there was another cracked egg. Interesting, I looked at the two I was questioning..candled last night..but couldn't tell. The tell was this morning. So, cracked it open, yaay, fertile. Now if postal handling didn't do too much harm, I should have some developing.

Refrigeration doesn’t cause an issue.

True. Just warm to room temp before incubator.

One reason why I don't mind cold weather shipping, if it isn't waay below freezing.

One dozen chicken eggs from our own flock (assorted hens with RIR rooster and WTB x RIR rooster).

Now setting 13 eggs!
