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

[dsqard]

Well I was a little late getting home from my errands so I just set mine about fifteen minutes ago. I was able to get 30 eggs in the 24 egg bator.

6 Turkey eggs set last Saturday (candled this morning and they all look like they are developing, DH's curse is working

)
23 Lav AM/splits from CC
and 1 lonely egg from one of my blue AM's X BW roo
If that egg develops it will probably be a roo.

I am not entering the tetris contest. Some of you are WAY more motivated to win it than I am!

I will go post my numbers on the spread sheet now. - DONE!

Im in awe of all these eggs! Can you stack in a still air?

OK just closed the bator and had to stack. Set was 11:57

I'll list breeds when I get back.

WOW! Oh, my. These egg tetris pictures are killing me! I wonder if I could get the dog to lay a few eggs...

If I could get my dogs to go broody and not just eat the eggs I would be happier!

Please let me know when you start it. My white's breeder told me she hatched an off colored chick from her whites this spring; red head, silver back, white body. I did not ask her to clarify what she meant by silver back.

I'll do it tonight and post a link here. I'm interested in that bird from your breeder, too! I'd love to see a pic!

Happy setting, everyone! I'm off to soak up some sun and break a sweat!

OK, I skimmed the last 100 posts and here I am.

I set 57 eggs in my Genesis 1588 at 12:20 PM Central time:
14 Lavender Orps from Bargain
12 BCM, 5 RIR, 3 GLW, 3 BO and 1 Welsummer from County Line Hatchery (FlashPointFarm)
19 EE from my own flock.

I think I filled out the form right but I guessed Mahonri will hatch 52 chicks - 2 EE and 1 Icelandic.

Here is my Tetris photo, but I must bow down to the GreenGoddess!
