4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[Sahwithchicks]

I haven't adjusted, no. I have never needed to because it holds a beautiful 99 with out fail. I think changing the thermostat consists of the same trial and error as using a wafer or dial.

I was impatient and candled last night. I wish I hadn't, because then I would still think I had 4 eggs going. Now I am down to 2.

I guess I really hope either they both hatch, or neither do. Otherwise I will have to scramble to find a chick or two for company. There is a farm that sells Silkie chicks even now that is about an hour away. Hopefully she will have some young ones if I need them.

I feel like this

So sorry. Everyone seems to have a terrible amount of quitters this time.

Quote: Thank you! Even though this is my first hatch, I really didn't think I would have this issue when I started wih 23 eggs! I thought maybe I would have around 10 chicks. *Sigh*

I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday. I've been so busy with travel and all that I am so lost on here. I'm over 362 posts behind, not even trying to get caught. I'm behind on everything, house is definitely in need of cleaning. We are getting a snow storm and it is down right cold and windy and snowing. I don't think it is going to be as bad as the Weather Channel makes it out to be. I think they just try to freak people out. Have you ever watched that channel. OMGosh, it is horrible, it sucks you to watch it because you might miss something, in all reality it is the weather, nothing new. It is winter and guess what it snows it cold and windy and all that it last on average 3 months and clears up. We are getting an extra minute of daylight now

OMG this Brahma Roo issue is already killing me!!! How long until they start to fight? what age?? My SLW Roo died he was the layer pen protector, I am thinking in a month or so moving two of the Roos over in that coop. Then I MAY be able to keep all 5 lol..

I keep telling DH ... "well I heard its ALWAYs best to have the backup roos" RIGHT????

we had a little photo shoot before the storm comes... its C o l d outside!

NOTE: never attempt pics as soon as you let them in the run UNLESS you want action shots!!! out of 50 I only got a few nice pics and even them aint that good.... this is my favorite though...
