BYC's 2026 Valentine's Day Hatch-Along

[Debbie292d]

Debbie, what a bunch of adorable floofballs!

All of mine have hatched now. Of the 5 last, I had one quitter. The rest hatched successfully. I took the last one, the malpositioned, out of the hatcher just now. It could have stayed a bit longer, but I need to get rid of the hatcher to do the laundry... Hopefully the others won't pick on him.

Here are some of the week-old and the new. (please ignore the dirty floor, I let them run around while I change towels in the brooder. I'll clean that too when the hatcher's out!)

Oh my gosh, how adorable! I wish I could hatch ducklings but my three are all girls. That's plenty really, but darnit those are such cuties!

I put a few more chicks in the brooder. There's one left in there, drying, and two more half-out. It appears I have 3 quitters, but should be 20+ here shortly!
