Good morning everyone. I just moved the two late hatchers to the brooder. I still have two more eggs in the bator. One more lav orp and one more Am. Pretty sure the Am is a dud and I candled the lav orp egg and no internal pip yet. I am going to leave them in the bator until this afternoon but I am pretty sure that I am done with this hatch. While I would love to win those eggs in the die hard contest I have
for everyone else who might have pips, zips or eggs still peeping at them. Don't give up guys! Those chickies are just late to the party! The lady I got my lav orp eggs said that she and another breeder she is in contact with have had late hatches lately. Maybe it is the weather?
Congratulations to Steve!
Your humor has had me laughing so many times through this hatch! Kathy, Laree, Mahonri, Mary, ChooksChicks and SGC (and many others) your advice and knowledge have been invaluable to this first time hatcher! I have learned so much doing this, it amazes me.
Even DH admitted last night that watching the chicks hatch was cool and that he is a closet hatcher!
Linda your wry humor and TJ eggs have kept this thread lively and Rathbone (I want to say Kim?) your kind words to people have been so special. If nothing else, going through this with everyone else on this thread has proven that BYC is the best second family we could have! Thank you to everyone! OK, now when is Easter and when does the thread start up?
I don't think my nerves can take a hatch any sooner!
