Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[JulieNKC]

Just realized I never posted pics of all my poults.
Here are the 2 I sold to another BYCer.

Here are the 5 I still have.

I gave up on getting a good pic because they run up to the camera and all my pics look like this.

OMG! Leave them all in! The bator must be running below temps.

I popped in real quick and I'm confronted with this bit of fuzzy cuteness!!!

Thank you! I'm so happy I got these three! Makes everything else seem unimportant.

I am loving all the adorable chick pics! This is the best part of the hatchathon. Getting to see so many cute pics of everyone's babies!

Well I took the plunge and actually sold some of my chicks this time. It wasn't quite as hard as I thought it was going to be. The gentleman who came over sounded like a kindred spirit. He bought 5 chicks at the store over the weekend and bought 6 from me and hadn't mentioned it to DW.

I have got to have an Anne marathon soon.

I did put mine on the spreadsheet, but I'd love to see what everyone has listed....is there a way to view the list?

The spreadsheet with the responses will be posted as soon as we have a winner for the Brinsea contest... any time now.

I posted this question over in disease/injuries but havent heard from anyone there and since its about a chick that I hatched with the hatchalong, I thought I would ask you fine folk here

One of the chicks that hatched appeared to be splay legged. I did the bandaid brace thing for her and have been closely monitoring her since I found it yesterday morning. This morning, however, when I took her bandaids off to check on her legs, it looks like it has to be something other than splay leg. Her foot is turned around at a weird angle. I have a picture for you, but its not the best.

I would try to straighten the leg/foot out by making a splint and shoe for the chick. Good luck.

Here's my entry to the cutest chick contest. This is Luckyducky, and he's spoiled rotten Very cuddly, tame, and mellow. The only little one in the brooder who doesn't cower in the corner when a "big scary giant" hand comes down from above.

PM all of your friends in the Hatch a Long.

If they haven't reported how many chicks they hatched, they need to do so before midnight tonight.

Then we'll know who won the Brinsea Incubator.
