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

[FeyRaine]

$20

but I'm sure that would be payable in hatching eggs, chicks, or various adult poultry ; P

---

and today I got a 4th different color/shape egg so apparently another hen has decided to make herself useful,
so I now have collected 11 of my own. I believe the need for a new incubator greatly out weighs the desire for an auto-turner at this point!

So I've been using 2nd hand LG bators, & I've gotten pretty used to their er, quirks , so I see the same basic thing at TSC for 49.99 then I notice it appears to be digital,
ah, can anyone tell me will it work just like my old ones or is the "safe bet" of getting a new one"just like the old ones" going to be a learning adventure all over again??
& can anyone tell me if it will be ruined by the frequent brown outs/power fluctuations etc of my local not so great electrical coop...eeek, digital really...

Thank you for that! Now I really can't wait until the hatch-a-long officially begins.

hmm, what would happen if I "accidentally" started like oh, say, 9 days early?

I'll be setting mine on either the 3rd, or 45h. I will be an early hatcher. Oh well. I may set some others on the 11th, just not so many. A few for "the" day I guess.

Well, I've located a few Brahma hatching eggs, but still need to track down some Dorkings for the hatch-a-long! At least I'll have something in my 'bator, lol.

ohh lucky!

I'm in! This is perfect timing. I have 12 eggs hatching 9Th-10Th. As long as i don't have any slackers it will give me time to wash the incubator and get more cooking for the hatch along. I started collecting eggs tonight.

Hey, I need someone to give this person some more professional advice.

I'm hoping the advice I gave is not going to cause problems so can someone with more experience incubating, especially ducks, help out, please?

Thanks!

Hey! Welcome aboard!!! There is also a $50.00 signup fee to umm...cover expenses...yeah, that's it! It's definitely not to cover the penalty I will be incurring for setting eggs early or anything like that.

Nah, seriously, it's free and there's no penalty for those who are stricken with impatience, though setting early defeats the whole spirit of the hatch-a-long. lol
