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

Is that a reindeer? Do you live near Santa Clause?

I live near reindeer but they are securely penned. This is a moose that got inside our pasture fence. With all the deep snow they can just step right over the 5 foot tall chain link.

I have some daylight pictures, I'll post them tomorrow.

Night.

Set my last eggs before the Easter hatch-along. Hope those little fuzzy butts are either early or on time!

Good Morning!

NotAFarm- Its snowing up here, it looks like that the snow must have liked us Michiganers better than IL.


I am setting one more batch of eggs today before Easter hatch- 42 eggs. 35 Icelandics and 7 Tomaru Longcrowers.

Daron and all,




Thinking over coffee.......... (autosexing breeds)

Formula for a Gold Legbar changed to formula for a Hambar.

I can do that! I can..... I have the equipment.....

Go for it Kathy.

If I had the space for projects I'd do it myself.

But, I do like the Bielefelder, too....
however, I would need Welsummers to add to the "equipment."

We're supposed to get that snow that someone posted a few posts back. Nothing yet and that's too bad it's coming because a lot of our snow has melted. Sky's a gorgeous coral color this morning. It's a beautiful morning, so far.

I had my incubator unplug for the Valentines Day Hatch... it was both incubator and turner, actually. I woke up to a 70 degree incubator and it was sweaty from all the humidity. It was probably unplugged for at least 12 if not 24 hrs. I persevered (by plugging it back in) and am completely amazed but I won BEST HATCH RATE... seriously. I've also had hens off their nests in the middle of winter, and the eggs stone cold as it was sub-freezing weather, and when I found her I just plopped her back on the right nest, and I had 3/4 hatch then. So don't give up on your eggs, I always have thought that low temps are better than high, and we've certainly seen some temp spikes that had decent hatches within Mahonri's hatches the past few years.

Kathy aren't you the one with the mouthwateringly beautiful barred rocks that we all covet?

I love them, so I need to use them in some projects!
