15th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[The Poultry Life]

Lockdown is tomorrow! Hopefully all the eggs have little alien looking chicks inside!

Pulled 4 more eggs and we are in lockdown now!

4 pips now, these turds are in a hurry and don't want me to get any sleep before work tomorrow

HOW did you get this pic????

I’ve been trying to take a pic of my pipped eggs in my ovation 28 and it will not focus. Do you have a cam inside with them? (If so, which one? Because this is a genius idea to me!)

Hmmm... maybe cross with some d'Uccle....? Or cochin, or brahma...d'Uccle have cute beards too, though.

I would love to have a hen with a crest, beard, and feathered feet!
I once visited someone's house and they had a chicken that had a crest and a beard. It was a Salmon Faverolle x Easter Egger x Golden Laced Polish. It was a beautiful bird! It was golden laced with a beard and crest, but I don't believe it had feathered feet.
If you did a Cream Legbar x Faverolle, the Faverolle has both a beard and feathered feet and it's also more similar in size.
Also.... Aren't D'Uccle's the cutest things?

I'm making EE's that are crested and bearded. Ameraucana over Spitzhauben and Spitzhauben over Ameraucana. Eventually going to add long tails. Not sure about adding feathered feet.

Incubator eggs are on lockdown!
I have one maran mix egg that's rocking and squirming (no pip), but they aren't due til Friday/Saturday-ish. The first egg that Alice hatched (several days early) was also from my blue maran mix Mary Kate! Her twin Ashley laid the Olive egg that hatched 2nd!

It's an indoor/outdoor Blink cam. I just bought another because I don't want to put this one back in the woods. I already have the sync module so this was just the camera. We have about five of these around the property and they pick up the wi-fi from an amazing distance, like inside our coop.

These were the ones that were hatching two days ago.

I could have typed this same exact response, I also have my blink mini in front of my incubator so I can see what's going on while I'm at work. I bought them for added security, but I think I do more chicken stalking than anything
