The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

I just ordered the circulation fan for my Hova Bator, so I'm going to be even more ready this time around!

I just walked into my bedroom and glanced out the window. My first thought..............how'd the turkeys get out? Nope, a flock of 31 full grown turkeys walking by. Of course when I opened the door to the deck they all moved to the far side of the lawn, but it was quite a sight.


I think he was trying to entice her into the next generation............LOL

I have a broody!!

Now the next question from a Newbie.... will she sit until the eggs all hatch? she has been in the nest for 2 weeks or so, i finally left her two eggs of her own the other day... just to see if she in fact is going to stay with them. so far so good. IF i give her eggs that i want to hatch for the easter hatch... will she stay that long on the nest? its 9 days away.. OR will she give up if they dont hatch around 21 days.....

no, usually once they have one or two they ditch the nest to find some food.

I have my egg dilemma solved, getting some from a fellow Serama fancier, and my one pullet has been laying an egg a day now... I should have enough to make it a decent little set of eggs in my incubator MOAR SERAMAS!!! Gotta love them
