5th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2014 Hatch-A-Long

[chicken pickin]

I just moved mine into the hatcher late last night, and I have 5 (YES, FIVE!) pips tonight! I heard one chirping, and once I started looking, there they were! I'm going to bed now, and in the morning, I may have babies!!

I got a call from the local petting zoo today. They wondered if I could provide them some chicks just before Easter.............

Very cool!!!

Thanks for advertising for her I was excited to see this, I just ordered 2. She says because of this post today her inbox is flooded with orders. Good job helping her out. This water bottle looks great, a very cool idea that she has here. I cant wait to try it out!

I'm excited she shipped my order out today. Just in time for my peeps that are hatching now. 2 so far out of 21. I'm on day 20

WUT? Momma hens not off the nest for 6 hrs...I know I got two now,,,

It's based off a study they did. They also dipped the eggs in vitamin C in that study. This was posted shoot day 5 or so I think.

I wanted to make sure I am correct. Set eggs on the 11th...go into lockdown on the 28th.

I noticed others saying 29th. But I was using the below link to calculate it.

Eggs set on Dec 11th go into lockdown on Dec 29th. Set day is not day one, 24hrs after set day is day 1. So setting on the 11th at noon is day zero 24hrs later on Dec 12 at noon is day 1.

Me!! I so cant contain myself I thought I might explode so I bought some of these. When I blow out the seams they are under warranty still. It's a must for all who cant contain themselves. lol I really didn't buy them I posted the pic on face book with some caption. Just never thought I would see jeans with a warranty so I had to take a pic.
