Daily Digest for The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[abmaddox1981]

Do you have the adult CPG or did you buy the eggs from someone else? I would love to add another goose to my flock. We only have one right now.. They are pretty little geese.

We ordered eggs and we are also going to buy goslings from a local farm.

I'm driving down to Moose Manor Farms next month to pick up a pair of Pilgrim Goslings. Not sure what else she has but you should check her out. I'd be willing to do a train if you saw anything that interested you.

Nice avi, BTW.
I see the little bit of a smile you were talking about. It looks like you're concerned with getting the angle right.
I think you did well. =)

No problem. I'm on a waiting list for the goslings so I'm at the mercy of availability....she just said it should be by Easter. Secretly...I check my e-mail every hour or so hoping for a miracle saying, some just hatched, come pick them up, lol!

Happy Chooks reminded us that setting within a day from the official hatch date is Fine! Do Not Stress too much.

We had a meeting

of the minds and agree that Hawks are bad creatures.

Cynthia12 wished us a Good Night!

Penny Hen stayed up and posted a burnt out dehydrator bottom that had problems as a DIY Brooder Heater. Oz posted tips for setting up an over heat system for the system.

Wolftracks is going to hunt up Speckled Sussex Eggs for those that are looking for them! Wolfie posted a picture of her egg Basket and now we all want the Breeds she has!

SilkieSensation posted a picture of her recent hatch!

Michaelf said Good Morning! Pachickelover is dancing because SS eggs are on the way!

Ladycluck77 is hatching one more prior to the Easter Hatch. A very old Rooster is being used so fertility may be an issue.

DST! Remember to Spring Forward those clocks!

Chicken pickin is having a busy day with Bday parties and etc. There are even the makings of maple sugar going on!

Wisher1000 is such a good Mom! She is going on a Special date with her Son for his Birthday!

We only have 168(only?) out of 246,000 BYC Members in the Hatch a Long….Ocap says we need more to join!

Emu update: Corny Caleb say the second one is wiggling now!

MontanaDolphin is setting Pekin Duck eggs for the Hatch a long!

Packing in foam discussed. Eggs do better double boxed according to S Sunshine. Oz says the wrong type of foam is often used.

NC Chick Man82 Is hatching with us!

Gardeninmama fed her Chooks some Happy Scraps (See how I got Happy Chooks in there).

Sally changed her Avatar from her Selfie Photo to some other thing, so a bunch of us changed to selfie photos! It was so much fun!

Angelobutter has Cots! (Quail)

TeaChick got an egg From Snoodle! DH is the best ever!

(I think it has something to do with Cohin Chicks that showed up at their place today).

Angelobutter posted a series of amazing Sizzles and Show Girls! Awesome! PAchickenlover has a some frizzles too!

Tips for keeping incubators fresh: Vinegar, Oxine, Pre 1982 copper pennies.

MontanaDolphin told Mom that that chickens are more important than Kitties(DuH!) Mom was skeptical….Oz’s helper Bernie says Cats taste like chicken—Not Cat issue at his place now….

Corny Caleb is working on uploading an emu egg wiggling Video….I can’t wait to see it!
