hi everyone hope yall are having a great day i know i will be setting 42 silkie eggs so far now if my sons class does not use my other incubator then i will be setting 84 silkie eggs. i am sure that the teacher will want the incubator when it is time for us to start here so a mim of 42 is what i will be doing now to find out what day the teacher wants the incubator. the school always uses my incubator around the time i need it to fill up 2 incubators but a long as the kids learn something and i can come in and candle the eggs for them and teach them something i am happy with just the 42 eggs maybe i can talk hubby to buying a third one

Mahonri's 3rd Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long Contests​

1. Best Hatch Rate
For this contest during this hatch, participants will need to be setting a minimum of 24 eggs, with confirmation picture posted to this thread on set day. These can be under a couple of broodies or in your incubators. Tell us how many you will have cooking and then don't go back and edit your post where you tell us how many eggs you start with. 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 many you 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.

2. Cutest

Congrats on the educational scores. I can't seem to figure out the new format here, not too blessed with computer and internet skills, and probably at the point of fitting in the "old dogs can't be taught new tricks" category.

You're barking to the choir.

Maths and chem is why I'm not a vet. I must say I find doing stuff in this forum much harder though... like getting rid of that unwanted quote box above. :/
