17th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[TheChickenGirl16]

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. View attachment 4317972
