Due to the delay in getting this hatch-a-long started, it will run until November 29th to allow for another set to hatch the day after Thanksgiving. Set chicken eggs on November 8th for this hatch date! Ducks, turkeys, peafowl, and some geese should be set on November 1st, and Coturnix quail should be set on November 12th.

No item is too small. We can always use smaller items for second or third place.
Hatching egg donations, fowl items that are new or used in good shape, BYC PFMs, Amazon gift certificates, BYC gift certificates, etc. are all great items to donate.

We already set eggs but we’re only on Day 2, so we’ll be a week or so early. This is my first hatch along so I’m excited.

Thanks for getting the thread up!

Please note that ducks, peafowl, and turkeys should be set TODAY, October 3rd, or within two or so days to qualify for the hatch-a-long. We apologize for the short notice.
