12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[ronott1]

Yes, I know this, that's exactly what I've been hoping to show people by using these chick sexing methods and recording their results over time.

It is good to have anecdotal evidence!

You could find some published peer reviewed experiment papers but then in our climate, many do not believe studies!

Who has a link for the next hatch along? I decided to give my broodies eggs 45 minutes ago instead of waiting, and giving them feed store babies in a few weeks.

We lost the 4th goose, it ended up shrink wrapped inside the egg. We did end up with a total of 3 healthy Embden goslings.

You guys should feel guilty, we are hooked on this whole incubator thing now. We just put 12 Rouen Duck eggs in the incubator since the previous occupants were evicted, lol.

I am sorry you lost one!

Whilst my Easter set was infertile, my next set had two fertile eggs! One of them has hatched and the other is pipped and cheeping.

No, he doesn't have a name yet.
