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

[The Sheriff]

Here is my broody Mama entry:

I set my eggs a couple days early, so I went into lockdown tonight with 34 eggs out of the original 41! (5 were infertile, 2 developed but quit.) I am looking forward to seeing some fuzzy butts 2-3 days from now!

ETA: I have more eggs in the incubator that I began with, due to my partner in Chicken Math having started a hatch around the same time. So I have 49 eggs in lockdown.

My dog stole one of my duck eggs a week and a half ago and cracked it really good when he dropped it.

Was already 3 weeks into the adventure so I waxed that puppy up and put it back in the bator. I candled a few days ago and its still kicking up a storm in that there egg. I think I shall name it heman or shera if it hatches. It was all thanks to everyone on here at BYC and a select person that gave me hope that it would live this long. BTW lockdown is on Wednesday night

Hard to believe its that time again. I still have a brooder full of babies from my hatch before this one

Here's what I set to hatch on Easter:

15 Paint Ameraucana project- KEEPING
6 French Black Copper Marans- SOLD
10 Coro Sea X Raraku
7 Silkies (under broody Silkie, naturally)
6 Bantam Cochins
6 Partridge Chanteclers- KEEPING
6 Seramas
4 Blue Orps- SOLD
49 Isabel Orpington Project- KEEPING
11 d'Uccles
5 Nikkei/Mapuche/Quetero

Perhaps someone nearer will pipe up- I'd obviously have to ship, and I'm not sure who will hatch...

Cheryl I don't have any that you mentioned in my flock, but I'll check later and see what I have cooking right now and if I have anything interesting I'll let you know.

I'm so sorry things keep happening after the city messed up your house!

BTW the birds I got from you are doing great, but they aren't laying yet. Maybe in a few more day I hope.

I do have a lot of BCMs in there. But I'm also having hatch problems again with them. I need to learn how to sand down the shells I think. We'll see after todays hatch. I only have one chick so far and one pip, but no BCMs doing anything this time.
