The 4th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long

[noahsmom]

Yippeeeeee!!!!!

Just set my eggs! It was maybe a wee bit after 12:00PM Eastern when I set them, because I wanted to take time to weigh and mark on a chart for each one so I can check them later. Takes a while with 46 eggs!

Here's the picture...




They are pretty packed in there, especially since several of those Delaware eggs are Whoppers!

I set...

16 Delawares
6 Delaware x BO
18 Easter Eggers
4 Delaware x Random Mix LF
2 Olive Egger (BCM x EE)

All are eggs from our flock collected in the past week. A few were collected this morning - I always switched out for the freshest eggs from the hens I wanted.

Ooooh, I don't know HOW I can wait 21 days for these to hatch!!!!!

I'm with you, I don't know how I'm going to wait either, I'm now down to 18days! I so hope I have several hatch!

I set mine early to do a test hatch half of them I set on the 23rd of Feb. They are due to hatch next Saturday!! The rest are due the week before easter and I will be setting next weekend again. so here my bator full!! 15 are due on the 16th, 9 are due on the 17th, and 15 are due the week before easter. So that gives me a total of 39 eggs set! 25 are EE and OE eggs the rest are Game ;D

I'm having a hard time in here today.


Finally got things done at 4a and laid down and my grand daughter woke me at 8:10 wanting to go play with her friend. Moving in slow motion.

 

[Maah]

Mine are set! I actually have an extra in there. One of my EE hens just laid it, it's a bit muddy from the snow melting today, but I figured I may as well put it in. I guess I'll have to hand turn the eggs until I can weed out duds... IF I get any duds, hmm, ya never know.

8 Eggs Total. (4 Barred Rock X Brahma, & 4 Easter Egger X Brahma)

Oh.my.goodness...

I was supposed to send a pack of the Chocolate/Mauve/B/B/S Silkied Ameraucana Project eggs to Supermom1185 for today's set...and I somehow sent them to a buyer of some eggs from last week. I guess I printed two of her label and picked the wrong one up when I shipped out the Ameraucana eggs.

She wrote me thanking me for the EE eggs...and I just told her what they were. *****FACEPALMFACEPALMFACEPALM*****

It's been a busy week...it's my only excuse.

Anyway, I haven't set mine yet, and I'm about to go tally what's going in.

Fingers crossed!,, Only 6 to set this time, We are trying our breeding pair of Black Cochins.

Little less than an hour and a half to go.


I'm upset that the blues and greens weren't showing up well. They look so washed out and I was so happy with them. Well most anyway.
