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

[ronott1]

11-27-13 I am hatching today, so far 4 lavender Orpingtons 1 black orp, 1 blue orp, and 2 splash orps, I have 1 lavender egg not pipped yet and 1 bbs not pipped yet , 1 infertial and 1 black orp pipped early and died in shell yesterday. Thanks to the GARY FARM for the 12 great eggs they sent me in the mail.

I will join the hatch along and set more eggs on the 11th of dec. I have some black copper marans now and they are laying so I will set them and some old stand by layers, leghorns. I love my leghorns, they are old faithful, giving me an egg a day.

You have been added!

OK here is a pic.

The splash and the lavender look the same in the pic but the splash have more spotting and the lavenders are more solid.

I edited my original post so the date of setting hatch along eggs read 11th not the 12th.

Thanks for the congratulations.

Steve.

Very nice!

Ack. Just found out that our holiday plans may be changing. We weren't going to travel for the holidays, but now it looks as if we will. We'd be gone from home from the 20th till late on the 21st. My incubator doesn't have an automatic turner in it :/ Will it still be possible for me to incubate or should I sit this year out?

I'm not an expert, but I remember seeing an article about some study where the most critical days for turning were days 4-7 , not sure where you not home days fall but you are only talking about 36 hrs so if you turn them right before you go, and right when you get back, there is a risk but it could be all fine too. If it was me I'd go for it, but not w/ really pricey eggs, you know, just in case. That's me YMMV...
