First Annual Cinco de Mayo Turkey Hatchathon- Join us! Set Day: Easter

[gryeyes]

Yah, I came home last night to find 3 newly hatched chicks and by this morning there were three more... That incubator must have a low temp not what the digital readout indicated... I guess.

So my reported hatch rate was 21/46 when it is now up tp 27/46.

I had some of everybody's eggs hatch! All three sources!

We all I think had a fun hatch and that's what it's really about.

AMEN sister! It was a lot of fun and it was very successful! I will definitely join again next year!

X2 and X3 (respectively) I would rather they hatch a little late then die from a heat spike. If your temps are staying pretty stable, I would leave it. If they do hatch a little late, you will have company since I think Linda has yet to set (c'mon Easter chicks, Linda has turkeys to set!

)

Homework is done for the day!!!!!!!!!

Don't like my stinkin geology prof since he does not organize in "DiDi" fashion.

He should know better. Jamming three different topics onto only two powerpoint slides. Geesh, even I can tell that should be three slides. Well I did it his way but the pictures are tiny
Now I have to go out and see if I can get a picture of Tom and Lurkey together (or at least in the same frame) for the next contest.

OK, to be 'official' I need a medium in bright yellow please!

Well, I just had to give candling a try tonight. I just checked a couple eggs, but I saw action in most of them I checked. All of the Wishard Bronze I candled had veins (I checked 3). I checked 1 Black -winged Bronze and saw veins, and 1 Bourbon Redand saw nothing. I just took a quick iPhone pic but I might get out my nice camera, as these were way easier to check than chicken eggs.

lol.. I just went and checked a couple of mine.. veins there too... plus I have PEEPING! one of my turkey eggs that's due to hatch soon has an internal pip...

Why wouldn't you be "IN" the hatch? "Official" is a very loose term for this hatch. If you set and you are hanging, I consider you in, unless you don't want to be?

I was never added in on the first page.. figured I found the thread too late



I think 2 of my emu eggs that are due to hatch on the 5th are bad... they aren't losing weight like they are supposed to... I know the lady that gave them to me said some of the eggs were really old.. but I think she may have had one of the old eggs mixed up with one of the newer eggs

 

[yinepu]

And WHY, pray tell, are you not officially in the hatch......huh? Put her/him in Chooks, we got a live one on the line! What size and color do you want?

I'm a her... uhm.. do you have black with a spider webbing design?.. medium if you do.. and if you don't I can just sit in a corner and lick the windows of the bus...

I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING IN MINE!


I do have to say though that I've been playing in dirt almost all day and it feels so fantastic. Got about 40 tomato seedlings repotted. Then I got the cold frame outside. I had to call CrazyNeighborLady to come help drag it to the front yard on account of my stupid (and possibly broken) finger, but I lured her over here under the pretense of free eggs. It was free eggs, and I got free labor! All in how you look at it. Unfortunately (and fortunately) it got to over 100 degrees inside and then the plexiglass sizzled off on one side,

, so boyfriend is going to have to screw it down when he gets home.

Waiting for my bread to rise now, and off to do some more chores... and think about candling my eggs later tonight.

The Easter Hatchalong just gets better every year! One of the better things this year was that it sparked Renee to have this Turkeython!

Hmmm.....I think I'll go with a black with white pinstripe (the narrow ones for a slimming effect), size large.....don't want it to be too tight!

A picture of Tom and Lurkey for a contest.....what could that be all about
