4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[cluck-cluck]

not a peep out of my 2 eggs yet and silkies are usual early!

I wonder if there will be some sort of a tie brecker for the worst hatch?

Don't give up hope! It's better if your temps were correct the whole time and they pip and hatch in a timely manner!

loaded and locked

what kind of bator is that?

its a reptipro 6000. Its my second hatch with it and I love it!!!! It hold humidity really well!!!

That thing looks really super futuristic! I want one!!!

These work great with chicken eggs..here's one picture to share of all of the eggs I got from DMRippy a while back


These are what hatched from those eggs above.

Here's one sitting with a wheaten A.


Here she is alone..I scared her when I opened the door to the
coop, she fluffed up at me. Cute ~ and lays almost every day
like a leghorn! Pretty green eggs

Awesome and so pretty!

Since I was unable to be home on the 11th to set at noon with everyone I set all my eggs the morning of the 12th.
I have CHICKS HATCHING!!! I went to put them in LD this morning and I had pops all over the place. I already have chicks out and more zipping and these are LF not seramas. Lol
Does that mean I win??

Wow! Were you running warm? I tried not to run warm this time, and maybe mine will be closer to normal hatching times. The one pip I have is from the wrong end, and I'm considering it more of an "inner" pipping than an outer one ;P

okay- i think im ready for everybody to hatch.
I have a movie ready (kilis hatch cam has another zipper, entertainment)
I got the brooder ready, used to last of the feed so going to head to the store to get more soon.
new light bulb for the heater lamp, the other burnt out during its 'test' run.
broke a pot while sweeping under the new brooder, had to clean that up.
collected eggs and got the goats and dog fed, all i have to do now is put away chickens in 4 hours lol
and most importantly- my camera is ready to record it all,

I took a cat into the layer pen with me a few nights ago where I have a mouse problem. I know there are mice under the one nest so I lifted it up for her. She got the sucker and then ran out showing me the mouse. She followed me around for 15 minutes just dropping the darn thing in front of me. Last night I took her in with me and I didn't need to show her where to go. The problem is I couldn't get her to come out. Finally I looked and she had 7 mice laying all lined up next to each other. I through the mice in a pail and carried her and the pail out and left her be. She insisted on showing me her catch again. I hope she wasn't wanting to share her feast with me.

WHAT you didn't get the kitty memo on mouse catching.....number on rule they catch you give canned cat food...preferably Fancy Feast.

Twinkle has to have his turn out with mom too.

What wonderful companions!!! I've got serama eggs in lockdown (

) and I'm hoping I can train one of them to be a shoulder chicken and keep me company while I write!

Good luck with the voting hard decision.

Another very difficult one, wow, such talent! Hate to chose just one!

I never know if my Luna really likes being with me, or would rather be with the others.... I just love her so much, I want her to be happy, LOL, yet she seems to like to be with me (but her hatch mate, Sirius Black, gets upset).

I have two pips
