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

[jbenson]

I distracted myself by tweaking the temp in my new second incubator and setting a full round in there.

I am distracting myself by looking for hatching eggs on craigslist... this may be more dangerous than poking my eggs.

Me too!!! i also posted a couple wanted ads

Sometimes the best thing to do is to leave the house during hatch. It is the best way to keep from from messing with the eggs sometimes.

But I was planning on running back and forth in the kitchen past the 'bator.

That's not ok?

This is what mine would look like, so I won't bother.

I spent most of the day working on the cabinet incubator so I won't even have to worry about where I am going to fit all of the eggs I want.

Oh!

Sorry.. Long day. Ummm I'm keeping a really close eye on my BLRW eggs because at lockdown I had two that were for sure good but one I couldn't see much movement at all, and another the chick looked small. However I didn't mark any of them.. LOL!!

All of the EE eggs have looked GREAT from the get-go. They are strong eggs I think! I cannot WAIT TO SEE those babies too, because one EE hen has muffs and a beard.. And dad is the BLRW.. They could turn out really cool-looking!!


Here she is dust bathing yesterday. (BLRW in foreground)

now I am eggcited for you too! be soo kewl to see how they turn out!

I will just put a marshmallow into my peek jar every time I go stare at the eggs.........then I can just eat the evidence of my obsessive behavior later. S'mores anyone? Lol!!!

too funny ^ Hmmm, I do have marshmallows, and chocolate, but no graham crackers!

I found wild turkey and Muscovy eggs... two eggs on my "must try hatching" list.
