Welcome everyone!! Sorry I’m late to the party

 

[muddy75]

I haven’t even dug out and set up the incubators for the season yet, but I’m planning to set calls and probably some quail and maybe some pheasant eggs (if quail and pheasant start laying in time)

Emus have been brewing for days…

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!

I would like to join the BYC egg hatching group. I have egg laying chickens and could provide eggs for a few people in the Decatur, TX area. 20 minutes North of Fort Worth.
Exciting!
