6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

[Sustained]

Well, the person I found that had eggs I could buy turned out to be really flaky. So that one fell through. I was hoping for local eggs but I may have to buy shipped again.

We will be hatching the offspring of Big Papa and Big Mama for New Years!

We will start collecting her eggs 12/04/2014 and put all seven (hopefully!) in the incubator.

I'm hoping for some really nice chicks from this breeding.

Great news

Are those orps?

Are those orps?

Australorps. Tighter feathers, lower to the ground and more curves to them.

See?

More Egnlish orp though...

That is great news!

The test is very helpful and I hope the hatching goes well!

I'm so glad they tested negative! I think too many people decide to cull their flocks from just assuming that their flocks have mycoplasma or coryza.

Not sure if I will set my bator up for this one or not. We are in the middle of having a cabin built & it will need lots of work inside once the shell is done. Staying in a tiny rv in the meantime with no room to put the bator. We shall see if I have everything ready by then. This is the longest my bator has been off in over 3 years. It got a 2 week brrak during a move last winter. It's been off for 3 weeks now & may not get turned back on til Feb/Mar when the turkeys get back to laying.

So I found a nest of duck eggs, pretty sure they're muscovy eggs, so thinking about setting some of those next week.
