Hey everyone for those of you hatching can you please post your pictures here
https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/728922/nyd-contest-23-first-chick-hatched-for-the-new-year

Even those that came before, or just those that come after midnight?

X2! No one should be upset... Everyone has the same opportunity to post. Yes, some of us work, but hey... That's life! You have posted your behind off and been fun and entertaining and ancouraging... Good for you!!! I am happy for you!!!!
If anyone really has a problem with you winning... well, this is from me...

This is supposed to be fun! Whether we win or not...

Well I wasn't upset that Sally won so there is no need to smack me in the face I'm just trying to have fun too and everyone likes to win things, sorry if that comes off as selfish (and we don't all know Sally's story either - I'm fairly new) .... I do think it would be nice to spread it around a little though, so that there aren't so many prizes dependent on frequency of posting. That gives an obvious advantage to only a small handful of peeps. At any rate, I never had a chance of winning anything since I'm in Canada so pretty much excluded anyhow.

No signs of anything on my other peep so I would imagine it will hatch sometime during the night. I'm going to bring in the New Year with my peeps. Have a Happy New Year everyone.

I agree , Im absalutley tickled that sally won , Im happy when anyone wins something here every one here is so nice. But it does feel like if you dont have the time to sit for hours apoun hours and post thousands of posts you might as wel not bother to try for most this stuff. Its still fun to watch everyones excitement though, i just dont have that kind of time to spend.

I was busy watching my eggs...do nothing )))

Just as I looked away, BAM! they started pipping and when I got back to the bator, I lost the contest!
It was 12:01 and that little bugger had broken out! By the time I got the camera and the phone on, it was 12:02!
Oh well, there is always next year. That's what I get for being social!
I have at least 3 or 4 more pipped! My kids fell asleep, so I'm documenting it with the camera.
Tomorrow they are gonna be so sad, sort of like they were when they were little and missed Santa!

Emergancy call?? Hope everythings ok

Just part of the job... But now I'm not even sure I have to go...

It's DANG cold here. I had to go out and cover my tomato plants....

37 degrees at present, on it's way down to 32...

At 12:15AM the "polar bears" show up to jump into our ICE COLD swimming pool.

Crazy kids!

I'd be earing shorts out to the barn if it was 37*!!! It's well below zero here right now!!

Sorry... That was probably harsh... I wasn't talking about anyone in particular. I would LOVE to win some eggs too, especially since I had to give my rooster up, so no fertile eggs for me for a while... I didn't mean to be so blunt... I must be tired and getting crabby... I've been trying to keep up with this thread, watch my eggs do NOTHING, hold down a PM conversation on FB with my nephew about helping a family member through a really hard time, while holding down a texting conversation with the family member that needs the help, all the while sitting on my time bomb of a phone waiting for the next emergency call to come in and yank me away from all of this.... Little strung out tonight... Sorry...

Friends??

??

I think there should be a swaping thread for Canada... Are there many BYC members from Canada?

I am sure there are going to be so many that hatch at midnight..wonder what they are going to do with so many..of course they also said *First* after midnight..so it might mean 1201.
