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

[two j farm]

Is there a time deadline? We're still mid-hatch with active pips and all were set on March 30th about 12:30 pm.

My total is 13

I just checked the remaining eggs. Still have 7 peeping pips, 3 with movement, but no pip yet, and 6 ???? So, still very busy!
Happy Easter everyone!

I am absolutely devastated. I put our first four Nankin peeps in the brooder. My EcoGlo brooder plate needs a new cord, which has not yet arrived, so I had a heat lamp on them. The lamp apparently shifted and I have four dead peeps - it took all of about six minutes. My poor babies. This was our best hatch ever - seven, so far, and now this. It's almost enough to make me quit. Almost.

Up to 6 quail now. Still one zipping bresse. Hoping at least 1 more bresse pip anf hatch for me. 3 is a good number for getting 1 girl hopefully.

Sucks when the universe has a laugh at our expense.
