Welcome to the 13th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along​

It's that time again! Every year, many members from all over the world come together to set eggs to hatch on the exact same day, April 16th, 2022 - the day BEFORE Easter. As a group last year we had 3666 eggs set for hatching! If you are new to hatching, this is a great way to get a lot of help, tips, and advice. Join in the fun for the largest BYC Hatch-Along of the year!

As someone who's never owned a NR360, I'd recommend it as well just from what I've read about it. 🤣 I want one really bad, I just can't justify buying a third incubator when my two Brinseas still run fine. 😩

It is nice to see you here!

I dusted off my brinsea octagon 40 advance and set 18 pita pinta eggs that were shipped from sundbird farms. 12 of them have hatched between yesterday and today!

I have two more that are pipped with one showing some progress. The old incubator still works great!

What is the earliest y'all start collecting eggs for Chicken hatch? I only have 2 Maran hens and I am trying to maximize the amount of eggs I hatch from them 😁

I personally feel that collecting within 10 days is best before some viability may start to drop off but if you store them well and tilt them a couple of times a day you would be surprised how well they can still hatch even when older. I even hatched some refrigerator eggs that were a month old! For the healthiest hatch, I do like to stay within 10 days if possible. :)

I'd say the same as CluckNDoodle, 10 days at the most. You can go older if you really want to have a few more eggs in the incubator, but you get the best results if you set within 10 days of them being laid.
