Thank you. As you can tell my butt didn't really move from my chair. Luckily the first one to pip/zip/hatch did it all in about an hour. Of course then I was hooked. I'm lucky I didn't get chairsores.

I am not a genious when it comes to this stuff. But what part are you having trouble with?

Here's a link to my entry for the BYC page contest. I am still building it up. https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=68426-new-years-hatchalong

If there is a discussion or a picture of yours that you would like to see there let me know. I want the page to be less personal than it is and have more about the hatch from the participants' point of view.

Also if this hatch was your very first please sound off. I would like to include a list of all those who hatched for the first time and a picture of their first chicks or eggs.
