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

[jbenson]

Does this count as a HAL egg? OMG I am freaking out. Anyone who knows me on Facebook please tell no one, not even husband knows yet! (Thinking Christmas shocker as we have 4 already....) So while my chicken HAL eggs don't seem to be doing well, this human one sure does!

Congrats. Shake some of that "baby dust" in a vial and rig a contest so I win it okay? I can hatch and rear chickens like nobodies business, but we can't seem to make a baby. Maybe that's why I have more chickens than I am supposed to (literally our town has an ordinance and I am totally in violation, but not like anyone will ever notice cause I may also have one of the largest lots in town). All of you wondering what to candle with, I have good luck with the Farm Innovators candler from fleet farm. It came with my 'bator and turner as a kit and I can see through my blue eggs with it in a fairly darkened room. And those blue eggs have wicked thick shells. Did you know that blue eggs, the shell is actually blue, brown eggs its a pigment applied right before laying and olive is a blue shell with the brown pigment applied? Oops, went into full on chicken-nerd there for a moment.

Thank you for sharing with us! You will always remember this is the one that has a special connection to BYC since it is a HAL. Congratulations!

Just candled. 15 with obvious movement. 7 with veins and too dark to tell about movement. 1 clear and 1 that could be a blood ring if I was sure what that looks like. Not too shabby for not knowing what im doing! I dont want to tell my husband about these babies either. Mine are easier to hide though than yours Book.

I'm joining the NYD HAL ....just back tracked a little and WOW....congratulations

It is great to have you hatching with us!

Thank you.


On another note. I looked at the eggs at Whole Foods and they had inserts in the eggs and told what breed laid those eggs. They had eggs from three different farms there, their farm bane was on the carton. One farm had eggs from Amberlinks. Another had eggs from Bovan Browns and I can't remember what the other one was. Those were from the brown eggs. Too bad they weren't fertile.

Do you think their on to us?

Did you really just inform the members on this thread that you MARRIED @bamadude? So
what we have to put up with on this thread, you have to live with day in and day out?

And who's the crazy one?

Congratulations, Book! I hope you have a happy hatching in, oh, eight months or so. In the meantime, enjoy those cravings!
