I believe you missed the deadline for being included in the numbers, but it doesn't mean you can't hatch along.

Good luck with your hatch!

i guessed in time just dont understand how the actual setting and hatching of eggs is being recorded - was there a date that the eggs all had to be in incubators by

Quote: To be included in the first chick hatched, you just couldn't be any earlier than noon on the 11th. Later isn't a problem. I think the deadline you missed was to be included in hatch rate. But don't swear by me, go to the first post in the hatch thread. There is a link to the contest page and you'll find the rules.

Good luck.

I read the first post several times - it is all about putting in your guess - which I did prior to the deadline - my question is - now that guesses are made who is keeping track of the actual individual number of eggs put in incubators by each member - how is that info being collected - did all the eggs need to be in the incubator by a certain date

There were actually two ways I saw. There was a thread for you to post your eggs set, along with a photo of those eggs. I also saw a form to fill in your information (number and species/breeds). The system administrator is tracking and recording that information. There was a deadline for including your count into the total, but there was not a specific deadline for including your eggs in the hatchalong. There is a range of hatches, you'll find (based on last year's hatchalong), that people include their results for several days after the expected hatch date of New Year's Day.
