Halloween/Thanksgiving Hatch-a-Long 2019

[ShrekDawg]

Welcome all that have joined already!!!! In case you can’t tell, I am new to moderating a popular thread like Halloween Hatch-a-Long, but with a little (or a lot) of help from other members, I hope we can make this a memorable event!!!! The 2018 HAL/HAL was my very first attempt at hatching and has resulted in not only my “hatchaholism” but also the making of great friends on BYC!! I ordered my first incubator and hatching eggs for the 2018 event and have since hatched over a dozen chickens and hundreds of coturnix quail in addition to learning so much valuable information regarding hatching, brooding, and genetics!!!! There’s still lots to learn and improve upon.....but I hope you will join us for all of the FUN to be had in the first of the fall holiday seasons! There’s still time to start your very first hatch or add to your collection before winter hits! If you have any questions about incubators, incubation, or even where to buy eggs to get started......let us know!!!!!

I think you’re doing a great job so far!!!

How fun! I hope you have a good hatch.

Thank you! This is all new to us but dh is really interested in the bator, so...

yes my DH loves the chicks tooo and tends to “forget” when he gave me “permission” to hatch more!!!

Ugh! I struggle w the same thing! He refuses to build anymore cages says i have too many so i end up zip tying HWC to dog kennels

That’s not a bad idea though, fairly cheap and effective and easy to set up.

That said, you should learn how to build your own cages.

Well i can use the impact drill, but i havent ever used the saw
Im intimidated by the saw, my uncle lost like 3 fingers in two diff episodes.

Also i cant afford nice lumber so using scrap wood takes experience and with building and i just dont have it. Im aware the home depot guys will cut exactly what i want to size but really 60$ in lumber is out of reach. Everything goes to the kids. Ive spent alot making the halloween costumes And Christmas is coming. Ive got like 10 gifts but buying for 4 children is insane.
