Welcome! : )

Go to the first page, it may answer some of your questions. This is the main thread, but I'm not certain if we're supposed to post pictures for the contest here or not? Here is a link to the contest page: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/4th-annual-byc-nyd-hatch-along-contests

I am getting the Octogon 20. So so so excited! Especially after that last heartbreaking hatch that happened due to incubator crankiness.

Ohhhh....I have Brinsea Envy....and Call Duck Envy.

Did someone mention that their DH was freaked out by the 5 toed Silkies? My DH has never been close enough to any of the chooks to count their toes. This CAN and does work to my advantage as he never knows how many we have. (Nor do I most of the time!)

No eggs at PO again today, guess I will be waiting until this last box arrives before taking and posting my picture.

Sorry everyone, I am back among the living, I had to take a break yesterday, then I went to bed at 7pm, my physical therapist was working on my hip and back and I had to just go to bed, no dinner, no tv, just laid there and waited for the meds to kick in. No better today and meds don't help. I made a picture of a christmas tree in hopes the old man will get the hint and brighten up the house, NO LUCK. I'm going to read all the post I'm behind in hopes to catch up.

So sorry to hear that you are under the weather. Sending some mending vibes your way.

I finally became a member of BYC a few days ago after seeing information about the 4th Annual BYC New Year Day Hatch-along. What FUN!!! As a new member, I had no idea how very additive BYC is and very exciting to see what other people are doing. It occurred to me last night how lucky I am to have an automatic egg turner. I grew up on a 100 acre ranch in Texas and remember my Mother turning eggs in our “little brown hen” incubator. Loved seeing the chicks hatch as a child and very exciting to share this with my own children.

OK, I did set 40 Iowa Blue eggs last night, but haven't posted yet. Taking a picture of them in the Reptipro was not very effective so I need to try again. I also don't like how it fluctuates temps so wildly. I have 4 thermometers and they all say something different. I got it because it was supposed to be better insulated against external temp changes, but bouncing back and forth from 98 - 101 seems a bit extreme. I really should tough it out and see how it goes, but I have my Genesis running empty right now and it's steady as always. I may chicken out and move most of them.

Just found out my grandbaby is a girl.

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!

Mine finally arrived this morning. I got a call early that 1/2 boxes that I had coming was in and then an hour later they called and said the 2nd box had arrived on the next truck.
