On Saturday, March 17th at high Noon (where ever you are) we set Chicken eggs... other poultry breed setting dates listed below... We want to hatch on April 7th, (the day BEFORE Easter Sunday) button quail: 16 days to hatch; set March 22nd coturnix quail: 18 days to hatch; set March 20th seramas: 19 days to hatch; set March 19th other bantam and LF: 21 days to hatch; set March 17th! bobwhite quail: 23 days to hatch; set March 15th call duck: 26 days to hatch; set March 12th mallard (derived) duck,goose, turkey, guinea: 28 days to hatch; set March 10th goose: 28 to 32 days to hatch; set March 6th -March 10th muscovy duck: 35 days to hatch; set March 3rd! emu: approx. 53 days to hatch-- (set them on February 14th!) let's hope nobody is setting emu! AWESOME Hatching tips and hints revealed in this thread are listed HERE. If you haven't done so, right now is the time to start communicating with breeders! Now is the time to get your eggs lined up, (or to pray for your girls to start laying) to have your eggs arrive by March 16th so that you can set them at High Noon (your time) on March 17th, for an April 7th Hatch! (Day before Easter Sunday) If you don't have a bator and can't plan for a broody, now is the time to get an incubator ordered or a homemade one built! 2 years ago my Easter Hatch was entitled the "Great Blue Wheaten Ameraucana Hatch of 2010", but since it was around Easter and since I've gotten baby chicks right around Easter every year for the past 4 years, it's become a tradition. Last year in the 2nd Annual Hatch, we had over 170 participants!!! The last NYD hatch went over that amount so I guess it is because BYC continues to grow. Obviously, this HATCH-A-LONG is becoming a HUGE BYC Tradition. So let's start discussing! .. and planning... So far, 6 GFM's will be given out for various contests that we'll HATCH UP.... I've already had folks contact me about donating prizes, this could very well be the very BIGGEST BYC Hatch-A-Long ever and everyone is invited!!! Who is hatching with me???!!! Many thanks to Laree, The Sheriff, Superchemicalgirl, NotAFarm, and Kathyinmo who have consented to help me with this Hatch-a-long.

Hi I am in I had a bad one last year this year I plan on having a good hatch. I now have two incubators and hope to get enough to fill both all depends if my son class has one in use then but I know I will fill up at least one and I am hopping for all silkies to be in the inxubator.
if all goes well i will have some yokohama and/or pheniox (more than likely mixed but thats ok as they are just for me soon toi be seperated into their own pens)
Ooh I am SO in. And I'll gladly offer eggs to anyone who wants to hatch some interestingly colored EE's or Polish for this hatch too.
