12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[Pensmaster]

I'm going to try to set some eggs for the hatch-a-long, but mother nature is a cruel mistress.

Did your pipes freeze? Is it getting warmer?

If I was going to order, I would order NN.

Most awesomeness breed of birds out there and I ain't the least bit biased

I haven't done it in yrs but put a light on a timer in the coop hoping I get the birds laying in time to participate this yr. Been a cold dark one here this winter.

No, but the power went out for three days. And yes, much.

Haha...you never know . Haven’t bought the eggs yet so there’s still a possibility...

Go for it! I got nothing. 4 drakes, 12 ducks but no eggs yet

 

[JCaseyHammond]

Do you know any chickens that never go broody but are australorps, silkies, Wyandotte’s, etc.

My 2015 Australorps from Dare2Dream Farm, and their daughters, hatched *most* of my chicks. One year had 5 broodies at once and had to ration them 4 fertile eggs each, or else some serious chicken math would have set in!

Hoping to have some of the eggs I purchased here by the 13th to set. Will join in the chat just for fun though.

Glad to be back!

Edit: I just realized the set date is the day after my wedding.

Congratulations and good luck for your big day.

It's not fertile but I wanted to show it off anyway. This is my Burbon Red hen's first egg! I don't have a tom and can't get eggs or chicks right now, so I'm just basking in her laying.

I hope you find some eggs to hatch!
