*** AUGUST HATCH-A-LONG come join in ***

[EastinChickens]

My pip has finally turned into a zip!!!

ETA: This is strange- the chick has stopped zipping and is now just sitting there. Is it stuck?

 

[Cattitude]

It may be resting for the final push. Keep an eye on it if you can.

I just went into lockdown on 14 beautiful blue eggs. Wish me luck!!

I'm so excited!!!!! Got 2 silkie and 2 silkie/slw eggs in today!!

Oh, I do so hope I have any kind of luck with them. This is going to be a LONG 3 weeks, guys....even longer than the last 3 batches, I think. lol

Wish me luck

My RIR/BO chick hatched today!! It was working on the zip all evening and night lastnight. Another little blondie (at least till feathers come in I guess!).
So I did get 3 out of 4 of my own eggs hatched.
And 6 turkens.

No more in bator at the moment. Still waiting on blue turken eggs to be shipped. Then I think Im done hatching eggs for awhile. At least till my BR starts laying and I can put her in with my leghorn roo to hatch Production Blacks.

Congrats to everyone with new chickies!!

Geepers!!! I thought I was the only one crazy enough to set eggs in aug. I have an orp mix hen, one of Meg and Suedes that has gone broodie. I just set 8 cuckoo morans and two of Velvets a BO by Suede under her. I know this heat must be brutal to them. But she won't budge. I have her extra water and have been hand feeding her part of the time. I will be so glad when this heat breaks. I have been in the mtns for 26 summers and have never seen one so hot. Oh! I know there are much hotter places but 90"s in the mtns are almost unheard of. Also the humidity is terrible another first for us. Mine are due the 30th of Aug. Just set today. Gloria Jean

Ya know, if I get the shipped eggs I want by Wednesday, and set them Thursday, then I'd have MORE new chicks just a few days after my birthday (the 30th)! And this past weekend's hatchlings would still be small enough for me to put the newest ones in the brooder with 'em.....

But that would mean I'd have to start posting in a SEPTEMBER Hatch-a-long thread....

Sorry... just thinking aloud. But I'm not addicted or anything.

Yes, There should be a september hatch-a-long!!! Unfortuneately, I will not be able to set any eggs this week because my family wil be on vacation while they are hatching, so Next week or the week after my incy should be full again. I am on the hunt for some hatching eggs, though. I am getting tired of trying to hatch eggs from my flock.
