The 10th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!!

Did you get pictures of the packing?

Too many blame the PO but do not pack well. It is great to learn from others successes.

Eggs set two days before and two days after the set date will count

I didn't think to take a picture when I first opened the box but I did take some pictures. Each egg was individually wrapped with a layer of paper towel then bubble wrap and then placed inside a cardboard egg carton which was tapped shut and placed in the middle of the shipping box with a couple inches of packing peanuts on each side for cushioning.

Oh! And there was a layer of large bubble wrap wrapped around the egg cartons themselves and some bags o' air.

My eggs arrived today! I can't believe they made it from CA to WV in 2 days!
I would love to give a shout out to @TJChickens for the FANTASTIC packing job on these eggs. Not a single cracked or broken egg in the bunch and only a couple with loose air cells which is just amazing for such a distance! Thank you so much!!! Can't wait to set these.

If I set a day early will they still be counted in the HAL?

What breed?

I have 2 Call ducks that hatched in August of 2017 so about a year and a half, that have never laid a single egg.

But they are oh so cute!
