12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[BullChick]

Do you want to guess what my incubator warehouse one is doing today?! I swear I didn’t bump it after getting the turner to move last month!

We got the incuview 360 incubator.

That is exactly the one that I’m thinking about. Then again, maybe smaller. A dozen chicken or 24 quail is my norm.

I must clarify that I totally love incubator warehouse! My incubator was damaged in shipping, and they gave me the option to get a partial refund, or send back the broken part. I got the partial refund, and should have gotten a replacement instead. Incubator Warehouse is a great company.

Noooo not hard boiled again. Good thing you’re getting a trial run in.

What day in Australia should my eggs hatch for this hatch-along?
I have 2 broody hens on the job, I put eggs under them today so I hope that is the right timing as sometimes they hatch a day before, on the day, or day or 2 after... But due for the Easter long weekend.

The Saturday before Easter is the day that they should hatch but a week before and after is fine.

Set the eggs to hatch in that time frame that works best for you.

Happy hatching!

Can I still join, I am picking up 12+ American Breese eggs tomorrow. I can't set them at noon, but I can set them after they set for at least 8 hours, if Iam correct. They aren't shipped eggs, but I have a 2 hour drive back with them.

You can set them anytime! Driving to pick up eggs is the same as setting eggs from your flock.

Welcome to the hatch along!

This brings up a very good point. Be sure your thermometer and hygrometer are calibrated as well as having the incubator up and running today. Lots of YouTube videos on the subject of calibration.

Check this out. First time I have ordered eggs all the way from Florida. Wow! The packing. I had read remarkable comments on their packing, so took a chance from that far..I want some NN'S! There were newspaper too... underneath the big brown egg carton. One egg had a crack..weak shell when I opened it to check fertility..only reason it was cracked. Big ol bullseye!
