The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[JoyfulPromise]

More news! I just went out to give the chickens their lunch, and found this Whopper in a nest box!!!!!

Poor hen!!! This one is the largest we have ever had, and it weighs in at 3.20 ounces!!!!

Here is the egg beside an Extra Large egg (2.25oz), a Large egg (2.00oz) and a large bantam egg (1.50oz)...




The pictures don't do it justice! LOL!

It is huge. Want to show it off better.. I found that if you put it along sideways on top of eggs in a carton, it really shows the difference..like this..go for it..would like to see this egg against the top of others...

Here you go Cynthia! Not as striking as your lovely dk brown (Marans?) against those Olive green eggs, but still makes a good show!

Ok so I guess we are crazy but not quite as much so as some of the others here

we are going to set a few more eggs this afternoon-LOL So instead of 30 we will maybe have 36-38 but I will have to see what they look like before my son officially puts them in-lol! They are bantam mix so should still be on schedule to hatch along with the others as they have typically gone 19 days in the past!!! All the kids at school are very excited today to see the incubators full

I seriously admire those of you setting 45, 60, 70, and 100+ eggs you are all officially my heros, I am not sure how you do it!!!! This is really exciting and we are going to try and keep up with the tread as best we can!

While I am NOT including them in the official hatch-a-long, I put 9 eggs under my broody today (7 shipped and two of my own) and five with detached air cells in what was to be my one hatcher. I'll figure out what to do about that in the next couple weeks.

Ok, Sally, I thought I would try one of those sites for fun first..how fun..but look...I got an extra little attachment there..not sure how to get rid of that when I am ready to save?

Ach du gut! how cute! Dont forget to save the image to you drive first and then upload as the site has a time frame burnout on them if you just copy and paste them straight from the site. I think there is a little x in the bubble you may have to pan over it until it asks or else up top it says delete, I couldnt find it either and then I did, but now I forget! LOL look around its there somewheres! I cant wait to see the ones for the contest!!
