12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[JCaseyHammond]

Final count is 76 eggs. No hen's went broody, so I'm not going to count the dozen in the coop.

Amazing! Is that the collection basket or an incubator? How would all those eggs get turned in there without making an omelet?

I'm sorry about how bad I've been with keeping up with contest spreadsheets. I'll check and log entries tonight if you haven't done so already for mine.

I'm joining the hatch along. Super excited. I have 9 eggs set. Fingers crossed that my roos were good boys

I received my 6 Goose Eggs on Thursday, let them sit in an egg crate for a couple of days (tilting twice a day). Put them in the incubator yesterday. Looks like I will have to hand turn them, the NR360 rack is just a little small for the monster (Embden) goose eggs, lol.

I started getting my incubator ready yesterday for this year's hatching season. All the dust has been cleaned off, the interiors are sanitized, and I've put together the turning racks again. I have several more upgrades I want to make to the turners, but I don't have the parts for that yet.
I'm also planning another incubator build. I need a good lockdown bator.

I'll have to turn them all by hand. Normally I use foam cartons, but I don't have any this time. I've been known to tilt the whole incubator side to side for turning. It's not recommended since the heat distribution is thrown off. I can't do it with this bunch since I'd probably crack a few.

 

[casportpony]

@Kiki, @Nabiki, are either of you setting any eggs?

 

[BantyChooks]

@Kiki If you say you're not setting any I will show up at your house and make you.

I'm not setting.
