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!

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'm in! I don't know yet whether I'll use the little incubator I have, or if I have a broody hen on that date I might let her hatch a clutch. Maybe both!
I want to join but my chickens haven't started laying yet, been a lot of single digit temps here winter still and I don't add extra light.
Soo, I've always wanted to have them I'm going for it, set date on my birthday so I have to Lol!
I'm in, going to order some Corurnix quail eggs, prob 50.
