Ended Official 2020 BYC Halloween Hatch-Along

Are you sure you don't want to set some eggs? I mean, just a few couldn't hurt... right?

Shhhh....don't tell anyone. I am chicken less at the moment. I want to start Heritage breeds in the spring. I will definitely join the Easter HAL when I hatch then! Ayam Cemanis!

Chicken-less?!?! This statement doesn't compute!

It's a very empty feeling, trust me you don't want to go there.

Originally we were planning on moving but this Covid stuff hit, I had an empty coop at the time, so now I am bird less.

Not even one bird stashed away somewhere? Oh, the horror.

Even I brought a few chickens with me when I moved....

Oh it's awful. I miss keeping chickens so much! There's a guy up the road that keeps an assortment of standard layers (red stars, comets, etc... breeds I am not interested in keeping,) but I've been tempted to stop by and see if he might let me have a few to ease my chicken withdrawals. I am going to start back up in the spring and hatch.

Okay.... I have to hatch SOMETHING. I have some Whiting True Blues coming in the mail the week of the HAL, so, may as well add some babies to the brooder, right? But now I'm tempted to hatch some black ducks. I mean, it is Halloween, right? DECISIONS!

If you hatch black ducks you'll have to name all of them spooky Halloween names!

I may have to just for that emoji.

I don't know, Im on the fence. Ducks are SO DIRTY. I've always given them away when I hatch them. But now I am wondering.... are there less flies if I hatch them for Halloween? IS THIS THE PERFECT PLAN? AM I GETTING DUCKS?!
