The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[chirpingcricket]

My DD and I were candling eggs tonight. She's been at her dad's for sping break and missed the last candling. We were giggling at the little shadows wiggling around and then...."A FOOT! A FOOT! I SAW A CHICKY FOOT!" she yells. Sure enough, the light was just right in the light colored egg and we clearly saw a tiny little foot waving at us.

THIS is why I am hatching eggs. The excitement in her voice and the light in her eyes at the miracle inside that little egg reminded me that sometimes we hold sheer happiness in our hands. I am a blessed momma tonight. We are still making a stand with 21 developing eggs out of 45--most were tossed due to infertility.

sweeeet!

Ugh! Two of my roosters have disappeared. The door to the bachelor pen was open and two were missing. I must not have latched it well yesterday.

There was a pile of feathers near the door. They were gorgeous fellows. I didn't need them and actually had a new home for one, but I hate that they met a violent end.

So Sorry! I hate when that happens. Don't beat yourself up over it.

I was a bum today, accomplished only the bare minimum. I had to spend a little time on my art work after all!
I posted these on the contest thread for natural eggs. Lot's of cool pictures over there!

Here they are - the chicks from our first round for your enjoyment of fluffy babies. So excited for the Easter weekend batch. There are still 11 in there waiting to be set for that hatch. The dark ones are all so different, I can't wait to see who else is waiting to hatch!

So far out of 26 eggs two were smushed early in a cat related accident and another 5 didn't hatch (clear). That gives me 19 out of 113 with the first wave done and the second in lockdown.

My new incubator should be here tomorrow. I ordered another lg so I have one to use for an incubator, and one for a hatcher. I'm so excited. Now I'll have room to set more eggs, and no having to open the incubator during hatching to turn eggs anymore.

I have some muscovy eggs coming this week, I'm pretty excited about them. I've never tried hatching scovies before (although I've hatched ducks and geese). Anyone have any tips?
