We still have time! Still time for those stragglers to hatch!

Wishing you hatchers the best!

I have 8 chickens and 4 ducks. That's plenty for the winter, but I can expand in the spring to twice that.

You could always keep a couple of Calls in one of your pens. They don't eat much.

Much luck to the late hatchers!

I am hoping for much better results for everyone for the Easter hatch!

Hi! Why wait for Easter? Lots of time between then and now to set eggs!

Stop encouraging Mahonri.

He already said he has too many chickens.

Just kidding.

I'm up for more hatching if I can find eggs.​

Just think of it this way. If you don't have a hatch you can still enter a few contests with awesome prizes.

Just had a black Ameraucana pop its top, yay! This is the first of the group that got set 2 days late due to PO Delays, so not technically in for the Die Hard award.

I've got 2 eggs yet from those set on 12-11, one of which I suspected was a late quitter (so hard to see through those Marans shells) and the other looked full term, but beyond that I can't see movement vs. not, etc.

I'll give them a couple more days to see if they do anything.

I've got 2 white silkies and 1 silkied cochin egg left (PO really did a number on them) and 2 BCM that I have no idea if they are developed or not, can't see into them. Got 7 more AM eggs (B/B/S) left, too.
