May hatch-a-long

Looks like a fun hatch! I bet those will be some cute babies. Good luck!

Thanks! I think so too.

Hello everyone. I've got 38 eggs that went in last Friday. They are from my own chickens. The chicks will be true barnyard mixes. Hens are BBS Marans, Gold Sexlinks, Easter Eggers, and two types of bantams. Roosters are Barred rock and Black Copper Marans.

They are on day 3 and a quick candling reveals almost all are fertile! Hoping for a good hatch since it's for my daughter's girl scout troop. They'll be monitoring their progress weekly and coming over to watch them hatch. The pics are of an egg I'm taking candling daily for the troop to see development.

Did you set yours on Friday the 13th too? I set 18 eggs. Lets hope this is a lucky day for both of us.

Sure did! They should hatch the same day . Have you hatched before?

Everyone's getting an early start on May, apparently! I have another batch of eggs being shipped to me... they haven't even been mailed yet. So I figure I've got a full month to wait before they'll be hatching.

That's exciting. What breed are you having shipped to you?

16+ Serama Bantam eggs. That's what I got last time, from a different seller, and they sent 18 eggs. I don't assume I'll get more than 16! My first hatch, I got 4 chicks from... hopefully I'll do better this time. I'm happy with whatever I get, though, as long as I get some! If I do, it'll be some genetic diversity.
