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

Honestly, I don't miss the diaper years at all, well, if I could skip the diapers and the sleepless nights and just hold a little one.

That would be grandchildren

OK, I've got my celeb look alike... I hatched this chick for Valentines Day, and at first her beak was almost imperceptively crooked, and it continues to get worse. I was hoping it was a boy and I could send him to freezer camp with his brothers, but alas, it's a girl. She'll obviously be joining the rest of my misfit flock, and I hope she lives a good, long life. And doesn't reproduce.

Another good one!

Except when you are babysitting and I don't know how the kids get their little ones to save it all up for you but MAN!!! I swear that's exactly what they are doing sometimes! Haha It's no biggy though. If this is the worst life throws at me I am doing WELL!!!

So true! Though since my boys are 8 and 9, I'm willing to enjoy the here and now, with their endless hugs. Gkids will have to wait another 15-20 years.

don't get to comfortable. Kids come home about the time you get used of being alone. And bring the whole family with them....

Thank you again for the awesome cliff notes, dsqard!

I am loving all the celebrity photos. I wonder if chestnutridge is going to put up another candling photo? (small hint).

I know it is best for me to not mess with the eggs everyday, but is there a suggested day(s) that candling should be done? I will do it right before lockdown, but would like to check earlier, as well. Also, my shipped eggs with bad air cells, - I have not turned them at all, but will probably start turning on day 6 or 7. Is it best not to touch them at all? I did take a sneak peak yesterday, but I'm worried about doing damage.

It will be early bedtime for me. I am toast.

One of my hens just bit me! Shes never bit me before! I was about to move them from their bomb shelter to their coop and stopped to pet them a second, I barely touched her and she bit me! It really hurt my feelings.

I don't know why but it did. LOL I don't know whats gotten into her. during the day none of the let me pet them but at night they seem to enjoy it.

I love all the celeb lookalikes! This one was an occasion for new undies for me....gryeyes, you're not alone.....

IF I candle, I don't until day 10 or 12, and then MAYBE again at lockdown. In the first case, I prefer to be able to REALLY see development or not, and in the second, I sometimes just cross my fingers and don't candle then at all.

I prefer to be disappointed only once, and if I candle and find non-developed eggs or "dead" ones, it makes me sad. IF, at day 25 - yes, day 25 - there are un-hatched eggs, then that's the disappointment I'm ready to handle.

Because, you see, I am pleased if I get even ONE chick - and two chicks is a GOOD hatch, regardless of the number of eggs set. (That's just me... I may be out money for the eggs, but if I have two miracles, it's hard to be disappointed about the rest of the eggs that didn't hatch.)
