12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[CluckNDoodle]

It's the mystery of this thread still waiting to be answered. @CluckNDoodle @Pyxis @ronott1 ???

I'm also not sure if they decided to open an egg to see what they would find. Without an eggtopsy it will be even harder to determine.

@muddy75 Did you get your eggs today?
I did not.

They'll come

 

[Corbdee]

Look at what I just found in a nest outside!

#1 reason I gave in, and got Disney Plus? They have The Princess Bride.

No other reason is needed.

No pond required! They just need a water source deep enough to clear their nostrils.

X2! They love it just as much

Does anyone named chicks before they even hatch? ( or am on whole new level of chicken craziness)

Don't worry, you're not...I do it all the time haha. I even named a few I set for the EHAL

My neighbor's daughter comes over to see our ducks and chickens, she is 7, and I told her the ducklings in the eggs could hear our voices. She sings to them, and is naming all 17 eggs! So far all have some growth, 1 less than the rest, and I was trying to tell her not to name them, they might not all hatch. Didn't stop her!

Awww *heart melting again*

White, Blue and Cuckoo Leghorns!

I love leghorns

I believe that was the one that sounded like the eggs weren't fertilized yet.

But I had a similar problem. Several of mine were in fact fertile, as they had big clear blastoderms, but even on day 8-9 weren't developing, at which point I cracked em open to see. I get the same problem all the time when incubating
