Mahonri's 2nd Annual NYDHatch, watching them grow...

[Rainwolf]

any chance of a repeat of rules regs etc for contest?

We are using the clocks for our local time. When your first chick is completely out of the shell AFTER MIDNIGHT, *12:00:01AM on the 1st of January, 2011 you take a pic of it and then you go to your computer and take a pic of the time on the Atomic Clock I previously posted of the time where you are. We are setting at Noon our time in each time zone because there will be early hatchers... there always are one or two in a hatch that pop out early. We hope by starting at NOON that gives us a better chance of not having too many hatch on Friday the 31st thus putting them out of the 1st chick hatched contest. .

Our Aussie participants will be setting their eggs long before most of us!!... otherwise their eggs wouldn't hatch until late on the first or the second if they waited to set them till noon Arizona time.

I've had my bators going and they were up to temp so I shut them off, except for the turner in the hovabator.. I have it open, the turner on and 18 of my eggs in it. I didn't get ONE egg today.

It's a good thing I have eggs coming from FL, KS, No.CA, So CA and hopefully WA... or I would be sad.

I think the thing I'm going to love the most are the surprises I'm getting from Kathy (halo) and Patty, (onthespot). I love surprises!

On my next hatch I think I'll pic some breeders to send me a mix from their various flocks... so I can be surprised. I do want to get some of that eye candy that bishopschickens have... and those lavender orps that bargain has... WOW...

Thank you for the clarification, Mahonri. Now I can keep up with you all! Oh I wish I wish I could join... wish I really wish... but I am bator-less! Will certainly join next year!

Rainwolf, sounds like you're gonna have a fun hatch!

Sorry to be a curmudgeon...the PO have masochists working for them who delight in seeing how badly they can crush, drop kick, freeze or in any other way screw up any chance of hatching eggs actually hatching.

Back to the previous programming which is full of sunshine and light.

Anybody in the phoenix area have fertile eggs, barnyard mixes, they want to trade for the upcoming hatch? I wouldn't be able to come up with any till Thursday or Friday though.
