The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

Yea, it sounds good...........better make two.

Agree!

Ok. <*deep breath*>

I am fixin' to participate. Even if I am not successful at acquiring Speckled Sussex or a couple other options, I will at least set some of my own eggs for this Hatch-a-long.

The Cinco De Mayo Turkey HatchALong was the last use of the 'bators, so I guess it's time.

YAY!!

Perfect time.

I will sponsor a full year GFM for the winner of a Craft Project Contest: Designer Chicken Tiaras for the Diva in in your hen!

Materials can be anything, with more discretionary points possible for extra bling! Tiaras must be modeled by an actual chicken (more discretionary points awarded for contestants designing a crown OR a Tiara worn by a rooster).

Directions depicting the construction of your Diva Designer Tiara are also required, because I want to be able to steal. .... Er..... Uh..... DUPLICATE your design. Photos would be even better.

Between now and Contest Time, I may split this into categories, not sure. But the talented folks who sit by 'bators gotta keep their hands busy when they're not candling eggs or typing on BYC, right? I know folks here are far more talented than me, able to create things I can only imagine.

How Cool!!

Oh, I plan on participating! I've just been lurking so far.

Thanks

YAY Glad you came over!!

I'm in no hurry..................have you done any plucking/trimming?  I know a roo couldn't get anywhere near my girl, she's very fluffy.

Deb

Yup. I trimmed. I think its the weather.
