Mahonri's 2nd Annual BYC EASTER HATCH. Post pics of your chicks!

Well my eggs are hatching. I have 2 Ameraucanas out and at least four more pipped. Just in time for me to leave for Oregon in the morning for my Dad's memorial service. So DH is in control of all the animals while I'm gone. There are notes taped EVERYWHERE to remind him what to do. No, I am not an over bearing crazy person. He was raised by a mother that left sticky notes all over the place to remind her boys what needed to be done while she worked 2 and 3 jobs to raise them. So he asked for the notes. I just hope he does not open the bator to "help" the eggs along like he so impatiently begs me to every time we hatch.

We got the mini van back today, completely covered by the warranty and a new 3 yr 100,000 mile warranty to boot. Which the customer service rep that had been helping me assured me I would need as her transmission has gone out 3 times so far! Note to self- Dont buy another Dodge!

Today was the first day I have not cried at the drop of a hat at every little thing. Yesterday I cried in the feed store. I fell like a crazy person. But what can I say, my Dad was the most amazing man, and there will be an emptiness without him.

It'll get better, not easier, just better...

Congrats on your Am babies!! What a good DH to ask for notes so he takes care of everything right for you, I'm sorry he can't be there with you for your dad's service. Glad it's all worked out with the van!!

Am I mistaken, but the best hatch rate doesn't matter how many you set, just how many you hatch. Of course theres the minimum amount to participate, but why not if you're gonna set eggs? I'm sure people that set their own eggs will have a better hatch rate than those getting theirs shipped, but it still will be fun.
 
I am SOOOOOOO excited. I just won the auction today for NYREDS Dominique eggs!!!!! Amazing birds! But, they will be here before the 2nd, and will go in before the second. But, I will have other eggs to set on the second. I never really thought I would win these eggs, so am just in awe right now!

ICELANDICS: However many eggs I get in a week. I am sending a week's full of eggs. 3 hens x 2 or 3 eggs a day. Last week I had 18. I gathered 3 yesterday and 3 today.....

OHHHHHHHHH, that doesn't include the "OTHER" eggs! I guess I will be sending out at least 2 dozen eggs, probably close to 3 dozen.

Well, how many can you take?

That ought to work.

No more casual bidding for me!

Best Hatch Rate for the Mahonri-BYC Easter Hatch = # hatched /(divided by) # set

Easy peasy... Most of mine will be shipped... and yup, it will still be fun.

Have a safe trip and I am glad you got the van fixed. A new warranty will give you some piece of mind. Sorry you are going through this and crying is the best medicine. It's better to let it out than to keep it all in. Hopefully time will help heal your pain.

We will all be here when you get back and maybe reading all of our craziness will brighten your days.
