BYC's 2025 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along

[ella2025]

I'm no good at Halloween names but how about Spyder and Web?

I ended up taking both the BO eggs out. They look quite clearly...clear .

RIP Bob and Mendy

On my next hatch I'll probably set a ton of Bippy and Nugget's eggs as they didn't get babies this time.

5 eggs down, 14 left.
That would give me a 73% hatch rate if all the eggs left hatch. But 4 is still looking very iffy.

Bob- infertile

mendy - I saw blood spots inside so it was probably fertile but died

Jo (16 silkie egg) fertile but died

I managed to come up with a few more chick names. I currently have 16 eggs and 10 names, so I could use some help with the rest. Some of the names I came up with could go either way, but I could use a few more names for males that are Halloween/Autumn themed

Hocus
Pocus
Jinx
Binx
Salem
Sabrina
Elvira
Raven
Crow
Nyx

Edit: Since Pot's eggs didn't make it the girls that laid these are either Buff Orpington or RIR, but the males are BYMs

Ghost, Spector, Frankie, Hazel, Icabob Crane.

Keep all the bits coming together, little babies. See you next week.

That's what I did with this hatch... I picked eggs from the girls that either weren't laying or I didn't get many chicks from the last time.

Thanks for the suggestions, here's the updated name list:

Hocus
Pocus
Jinx
Binx
Salem
Sabrina
Elvira
Raven
Crow
Nyx
Spyder
Spector
Ichabod
Hazel
Frankie
Ghost

After having a bad hatch last time, I'll wait to apply names once the chicks hatch and see which chicks it seems to suit better.

Darn I missed out this season for a Halloween hatch. I did have a broody hatch out some a few days ago tho.

Sorry you missed this hatch, you can always post some pics of the chicks! I'm sure everyone would love to see them.
