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

[chicken pickin]

So, eggs came yesterday. Should I go ahead and set them, or wait until noon tomorrow? I could set them today at noon. Not used to waiting this long. It's been over 24 hrs. sitting. No dates on the eggs as to how old they are. hmmmm......

Im waiting. My eggs got shipped out last wed and arrived yesterday. One egg is even dated back to the 27th(the older ones were some of the extras include). But its up to you.

[COLOR=0000FF]I recommend taking a ride and listening for roosters….where there's crowing…..there's fertile eggs.  BTW…I'm totally serious, I've done it before and did well.[/COLOR]

I read that and now I kinda feel silly buying shipped.eggs.... my neighbors have roosters and so do the people across the street... but I wanted easter eggers and I know they both only have brown egg layers.
well if this hatch doesn't go well I'll go to my neighbors and the eggs wont even have to go in a car and can be put in the bator right away.
I really don't know why I didn't think of that before...

Well I've been studying for finals here so I can't be on much. ( just an update though: Still the eggs haven't gotten here!!

Hoping they get here tomorrow, then 12 hours to rest. Won't be able to participate in the first chick contest

oh well, always next year. Good thing they are bantams so I hopefully will get some on new years!

So who is done Christmas shopping, and who like me, likes going at the last minute. I'm over half way, but still love the last minute rush

I make all my gifts so I don't go shopping (well for supplies I do)
I paint (chickens, of course) something for everyone with acrylics )
