MAY 2016 "Land of the Free Because of the brave!" Hatch-a-Long Hosted by, Mike & Sally

[BullChick]

Getting 3- mom is Ancona maybe, and 2 babies that are Cayuga cross something, babies are about 2 mos old and are bigger than mom

That's a much better way of looking at it Mike.

Hi, I am Laurie and if you haven't noticed it I think I am a hatchaholic!

My friend who's eggs didn't do so well incubating this month is going to give me a few more to try AND she got some free silky eggs she is going to share with me!!! So I definately WILL have chickens to hatch in May and not just Ducks/Turkeys. Because you know I don't have enough chicks yet.

Not e

Well you do and anyone else who saw this.

Wait you were spying on me?

Not exactly..

 

[wabbit1964]

You should put that in the "Helpful Tips" thread.

Worried about a staggered hatch? You should buy or build another incubator!

 

[wabbit1964]

Use reason than. What if only one hatches? Than the other one will be lonely cause it doesn't have a friend. So you should set three. That way if one doesn't hatch you'll have two..........although one of those could suddenly fail to thrive so you'd better set 4. That way you'll have a better chance of 3 making it..........but 2 of those could be roosters so you'd better set 5.................at least.

Chicken math at its finest.

Hi Laurie, no you are fine, just set all the eggs and relax.

I member seeing a group shot. You'll have to post better close ups of them when you get them.

I will, took some today, but can't do it from my phone so I'll have to get my kindle or do it at work tomorrow, the Cayuga babies JuSt hit 1 month and the mom might be an Australian spotted but I don't think she looks it

i could send you some eggs to hatch
