We'll need that info by Monday the 19th of March at latest to be included in the contest. When the hatch is over, you'll take a pic and post it to show us how manyyou actually got...the picture must be of sufficient quality to count all the chicks. In the event of a tie, the one who hatches the most chicks wins.

I might know what the problem is, are you using the BB code editor? I was and had to change to the Rich Text editor for the copy/paste to work with the link.
I hope I didn't just confuse you more.
