4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

HAPPY NEW YEARS 2013 TO EVERYONE :)

Glad to see all the just hatched pictures. Not sure who is winning on first chick but great effort w/ clock & chick pics.

Way to go Hurley on winning the baby pic. contest, great shot really funny and cute.

Saddly I have still ZERO activity in my bator, maybe inviting ppl to watch them hatch today jinxed it b/c the way it is going looks like I'll be a sad entrant for worst hatch = (

My only hope now is that since I only had the one thermometer maybe things were colder than I realized so they are slow? & I noticed several ppl who had nothing last night said they had Maran eggs too, so perhaps Marans then to hatch late ?? crossing fingers, trying to visualize the first pip any time now, and a bator full of hatching action in 1 hr 15 min when guests arrive...

DOES ANYONE CURRENTLY HAVE AN ONGOING HATCH CAM -- so my guest can watch some eggs hatch even if mine don't ?? THANKS...

My BCM were set on the 12th at 8pm and the first one hatched this morning. I wasn't expecting anything until tomorrow...
 
So this morning I went out and pulled all the eggs out to asses them. 3 chicks managed to get out on their own. All the rest were very stuck so I helped them all out and they are resting and drying. I hope they end up okay. I did end up with about half "hatching".
 
Here's my 10 NN babies.. Not great, but better than average percentage for shipped eggs (16 eggs). They are under an ecoglow so had to pull them out to get a picture. =)



Oh, 10 ~ out of 16? Not bad at all! Those are darling. Aww, look at their little caps. :) Are those some blues I see there? My girl in the avatar is sooo big. I didn't know they gotso big. But she is something of a conversational piece for sure. I would like to have a blue splash now.
