4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

We are getting a new barn built, and yesterday they poured down the concrete. I have these 7 chickens who cant get enough of people, and I always notice them out with the barn builders.
Well today when i went out to see it all, i noticed the concrete had a bunch of chicken foot prints all over it.

When they noticed me laughing, they came over and said the chickens were out there having a blast in it.

Just make sure you take time to check feet & toes. Concrete stuck to feet & toes can do some real damage real fast.

These are the geese the hatching egg prize could come from: (will be arranged with the winner for when they want to receive and freshest eggs will be sent)
we have: whites, grey, blue, lavender, lilac, buff, saddleback and the laying season for us has just barely gotten under way. Eggs currently set are growing very well.

We cant wait to see the egg art in this contest, Thanks to all involved for letting us offer a selection of prizes on the contests too.

Here are my silkie eggs that I set on 12/11 at 5:00 PM PST..(I was at work at 12:00)

The eggs were purchased and shipped to me from Catdance Silkes. They all arrived intact and were beautifully wrapped. This is my first time incubating shipped eggs so not sure what to expect but I am
hoping for a great hatch %.
