7th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2016 Hatch-A-Long

[Ravynscroft]

It's always the best egg. Did you lose birds as well. That's awful the weather back mid west and east has been hard to watch.

Actually, the only casualty was the bantam coop itself... blew across our hill into a 12ft 4x4... I figured the poor things were either dead our blown away, but my little Merry girl led them to the old duck house and they were tucked in safe and sound... Sulmtalers just went over sideways, disgruntled but no injuries... we lucked out...

So just curious since im seeing alot of people with hatched chickens. Did u set them early for the new years day hatch or are they hatching early? I set my chicken eggs on december 11th. So they should be hatched on new years isnt that what we were supposed to do? Just confused. So today is day 19 for mine

Its like Ron trying to herd bullfrogs into the bed of a pick-up truck.
Some people jumped the gun a bit. I didnt set until Dec 13.

I wish I had friends with Silkies! I hope we both get some cute paint chicks! I don't imagine I could get a paint showgirl from this hatch, but maybe this Spring when my girls start laying.

Hit the silkie thread

As I said a couple of weeks ago, I jumped the gun and set 10 Buff Orpingtons early. Happily all 10 were born on Christmas Day!

They are so cute!
