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

[ronott1]

OK, I tried to resist, but it was futile

Looks like I'm in Ron . . . 10 eggs from my one blue wheaten Ameraucana pullet. There will be possible Olive Eggers out of my golden cuckoo Marans rooster and/or pure BBS/wheatens out of my blue wheaten Ameraucana rooster. I will be starting my eggs at 12:00 noon tomorrow

Possible dads~

The eggs and the chickens are very nice!

Good luck hatching! I have added you to the list.

Thanks

I will need some luck since half the eggs came out of the refrigerator and the other half out of a pen with a clumsy BWA rooster who might not be doing his job

Ron, count me in. I won't be going anywhere for the next few weeks. :/

The snow and ice this past few days prevented a trip to SaveMart for a dozen fertile brown eggs (and now i haven't any car to go get some tomorrow) so i am going to put three of my home flock eggs under Sparkle the broody House Silkie. She's been brooding a single, infertile egg for three weeks, so hopefully she will go the full course again. As a HouseChicken, she has been able to get more and healthy treats than the outside flock.

Eggs I gathered from the Ranch flock probably froze - at least one actually cracked from being frozen - so no small eggs. Just three eggs from LadySpeckle (Speckled Sussex, duh) and I don't want Sparkle to have to deal with too many LF chicks. It will be interesting to see who has been courting LadySpeckle most successfully: Carl or Domino. Don't think the Splash Orp "Ralph" has been able to sneak anything past the boss or second in command roo.

I'll have to go back and find the participant spreadsheets to add my stuff.

Yes!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I remember how strict my nursing school was...one day someone was sitting next to you in class and the next day... they disappeared suddenly...with no warning or explanation. It was stressful, every day. We started out with 50 and graduated 32...they had quite a significant weeding process and mostly it was stupid stuff. I just finished my MSN last year and it was SO relaxed and a totally different experience.

So happy you are back in!!!

I wouldn't worry about getting it over 42% or even keeping it there, I don't worry about humidity being too low unless it drops below 16%

Same here...temp is more important ~ I only worry about the humidity at lock down.
