13th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[ronott1]

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!
Lili Jimenez

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!

Our farm is in!

 

[BarnyardChaos]

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!

 

[Janj76]

I’m in! I joined last year as well! I love hatching!

 

[Beer can]

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.

 

[Beer can]

Wow, I've never looked at hatching eggs on Ebay with search closest first.
Couple in my state 50 C quail eggs $30, doesn't sound bad to me.
