Official 2020 BYC Halloween Hatch-Along

I think I have a backup person I can get some off if Im stuck

She wouldn't sit still for good pictures, but I had a Chinese painted quail (rather unexpectedly) hatch out 6 chicks today. Suddenly I'm not sure I should be hatching anything else for the Halloween HAL. Why do I always do this to myself.

If anyone needs a good incubator in time for the hatch-along...Harris Farms NR 360 is only $139 on Amazon!

Glad to hear they are back in stock. I bought this model from my local Tractor Supply in early spring and it's worked wonderfully for me, even with shipped eggs!

Oh fun! I will join, but only if I can find something totally weird to hatch. I'll think on this...

Since you mentioned "something weird" I did come across this article on interesting and unique chicken breeds! It might be worth checking chicking out. lol

I don't know about those Game Hens...not sure I can have a chicken on the farm that has better legs than I do!
