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

Gahhhhhh!!!!!!! I need to lockdown tonight since I set a day early!!!! I thought it was tommorw! I'm still confused about what a dead or bad egg is or what it looks like. :/
 
I can't believe what a talented group this is.

@kathyinmo - you are my hero. You have awesome Delawares and you are quite the artist

@scg - I love that story. Happy endings rule..now let her come inside - you DID cut off her toe...

@chestnutridge - great photos. Very helpful. I referred back to them more than once

I know I didn't list everyone, but you all know who you are :)

TOTALS........................................ 23 in the can, 51 remain. -10 41 remain

Every egg in the Brinsea that was there at first candle remains. All 10 that were bad were in the hovabator... Also the one pipped egg, an Icelandic from the Audin was in the Hovabator.

I'm guessing that my temps were too high... the air cells were pretty huge.


So I'll be lucky if I hatch 20. Just enough to put under my broody!
