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

Here is a needle felted chicken I made as an example for the "Cutest Chick" prize. This one is 3" tall, but the one I will make for the prize will be bigger, probably "6. The winner would get to pick the breed/color.

Nice!

I have added them to the hatch count.

Let us know how the experiment goes. How old is the oldest egg?

Ron, The oldest egg is 23 days

After 14 days, cold storage helps them hatch.

I will be very interested in how they do. Each day of age is supposed to add an hour to hatch time also.

These are my pedigree bags. They were intended for shrimp and I picked up 100 at a flea market.

the chicks don't get caught in them?

this is adorable! I wanted to start up needle felting before I started my Claymation proj. what breed is this??

This one is my favorite breed, an Araucana.
I would love to see your claymation! I always wanted to do stop motion, but haven't tried it since I was a kid.

Quote: love it!

I guess they aren't really "claymations" more like cute little clay figures.

I haven't had any trouble at all. I've put as many as 5 eggs in each.
When I used fruit baskets, the little Houdinis always escaped.
