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

[superchemicalgirl]

Are there any specific dates that we're candling? I'm going to make a spreadsheet for my eggs.

I wrote a fluffy little article about this hatch-off. You guys should all go on there and comment so we can keep it in front of the audience. The more backyard chickens are put in front of people as a reality, the more we can spread the addiction! One of the suburbs of KC just okayed chickens last week!! Woohoo!

The great New Year's Day hatch has begun!

I am not sure if I will be candling at all.

These duck eggs are blue and I always have trouble seeing inside colored eggs.

Page 26 anyone?

Some 48 peeps who said they were with us, still haven't checked in... perhaps when they go to work on Monday?

So I guess the Raising Chickens for Dummies suggestion of candling on days 4, 7, 10, 14 and 17 is overkill? It's my first hatch so would candling that much kill anything? I promise to keep my pellet stove going with room temp above 68 during candling!

Oh darn. I just filled out the form and didn't add the quail. I'm still collecting.
