17th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[Naerwyn]

It's dog, cat chicken, duck, lizards and occasional wildlife taking up my phone space, love them all.

Oooh very good subjects!

If I wasn't so busy I'd join in but I'm hatching in spirit with yall! Can't wait to see the babies!

"I'm too busy" "I can't" "I'll just hatch in spirit"

proceeds to fire up the incubator anyways

I'm too late for the hatch along but apparently I jinxed myself!

Can I enter? I have one egg that should hatch on either Easter Sunday or Monday and 15 (hopefully) others due on the 8th!

Yes, of course! Welcome!

All eggs set to hatch on 3/21 through 4/18 count!

10 eggies look good! Hopefully they all hatch next weekend!

Anyone got "Chernobyl" themed names? Or other themes?

If you go to the Hatch-along Forum, you'll see tons of themes, too many to list.

Hey everyone, FYI: we have two contests running based on our participation in this year's Easter Hatch-Along, Guess How Many Eggs Will Be Set! & Guess How Many Eggs Hatched!, and we need your help!

Keep an eye on your inbox because we will be sending you a direct message asking if you set eggs and how many you set.

Thanks for participating in this year's hatch-along!

Oh my gosh I can participate and I didn't even know it was happening! I set my first ever hatch on 3/13! I needed to test out the process before my ordered hatching eggs arrive in mid April. So I put in 20 BYM. I currently only have 1 Roo (cream legbar) with 28 hens. So I knew going into it that fertilization rates could be lower. I did select eggs based on seeing good fertilization when cracking them. Out of the 20 I had 2 that were not fertilized and 4 that quit early on. I haven't decided if I will candle when the go into lockdown or not. Who am I kidding, I will.
