April 2021 Hatch - A - Long

[Kholts]

Have you candled yet? Can't wait to hear what you saw!

I posted this last night & then promptly decided to start another task & forgot. Tonight I will for sure & take pictures of development.

I’ll report back later

So, looks like the shipped replacement eggs for this hatch-a-long are lost somewhere, I do not have much hope that they will arrive here, and if they do, not much hope for any viability at that point. They were collected by the breeder LAST week-end. Last seen, already a day late, leaving Seattle Friday morning. Granted they were suppose to HERE Friday morning. They were shipped 2 day express.
I have one remaining paint egg from the last shipment, on the Easter HAL going strong, due on 4/10.
I currently have 9 of my own silkie eggs, that I have just been adding to the incubator as I collect them. I have staggered hatches then (AGAIN!) with hatch dates ranging from 4/15 to 4/18. Hopefully will get some chicks at least for some of the folks on the waitlist.

I just found a farm that sells NN/frizzle eggs. Hopefully I can get some for April hatch...

Ok I have 38 eggs set in the old 4250. My man hooked me up with 3 dozen. I broke one trying to check how they were stored in the cartons. He had them right. I filled in the blanks with a few of my own and left 3 spots open to add water. This is the old 4250 that don’t have side ports for adding water. RIRs, Black sex-links, a couple of my own EEs and a mystery egg. Ready for April 18!
