Did you know that there is an Easter Hatch a long this year?????

[wolftracks]

Three more weeks! Plenty of time to build a bator if you don't have one and find some eggs to hatch. Oh and lots of contests started already and more to come!

You don't want to miss out on this hatch!!!!!!!!!!

Hatching ducks for the first time. The hatching thread has been informative and entertaining, and we haven't even reached the set date yet.

If for some reason you can't hatch, come join in on the contests or the thread for some great information!

15 more participants and we'll break last years record!!!

Only 15 more days until we are shipped eggs for the Easter hatch!!!! What are you getting????

Well... I *would* sign up and participate, since I just today got my home-made incubator plugged in, and am getting the temps/humidity tuned in....
but...
the link from Tazcat70's posts: "JOIN THE MADNESS!!!! MAHONRI'S 3RD ANNUAL, BYC EASTER HATCH-A-LONG!!!!
lead me to a page that says:

I finally managed to find the right place to sign up, with some detective work...

Now if I can get my new incubator fine-tuned

I'll be in business!

(it's a huge ice-chest build, and I suspect the one bulb isn't going to be enough to heat the whole thing.)

One might work. Remember to have a little space behind the Thermostat and put it as close to the light as you can get it.

Glad you're joining the hatch.

The thermostat is less than 6 inches from the bulb, and it now appears the one bulb will do the trick. The 'bator has been holding steady temps at 100 degrees F for nearly 18 hours, and I think I have the humidity dialed in too - had to change the size of the water container, though. Pretty sure it's ready to go!
