January Hatch Buddies?

[Robo]

I have 60 quail eggs due on the 28th and the 30th.

These were 9 BCM babies hatched Fri/Sat. (started with 15 shipped eggs). There were 11 that hatched, but one died the next day, and I had to cull one because of a hip deformity.
This was my first hatch and unbelievable exciting and I learned alot about the process from this forum. Even tho' I only had an LG incubator, I was pleased with the results.
The 2 chicks that did not make it really made me think about what I would do better in the future and how to emotionally handle all of this - in many ways, it was one of the most emotional draining things I've done in a long time. I'm actually glad its over with - is that awful?????

What does BCM stand for? I am trying to learn all the different abbreviations... I see this one a lot, but haven't a clue.
