The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Reyvaughn]

If there is a total hatched thing going on - since I can't keep track of anything because 1) this thread moves to fast and 2) I don't want to be on the computer....

47 chicks
4 poults (one died, though)
11 quail

I got too busy to really play along this year. Hatch was bad for several known reasons but
6 hatched. I think that was out of 26.
Just reporting for the record.

Hope everyone had fun! I did even if I didn't check in!

Remember Easter is earlier next year, April 5th, which means chicken eggs will be set March 14th(ish). We hope to see you there.

To many posts and taking my daughter and the newest grand baby to his first appointment today.

Woke up to find a dead chick in one of the AM containers. I think it pulled so hard it pulled it's insides out. Man I hate when that happens and I'm not around to try and help.

Ummm I I think I have 7 of thr chocolate split bantam AMs and 2 or 3 of the black/lavender. I have one of the mixed eggs hatched with a cute little yellow chick which looks like 3 of the Black Mottled Japs combined. The Silkied AM that was pipped was stuck, so I gave it a zipper. It'll have to get the rest of the way out, itself. I got 2 American Games peeking at me and I think that's it, but I'm waiting to see what else happens in there.

Just checking in with my final count; 10 out of 17 that made it to lockdown. My best percentage ever. They were all mixed breed mutts. 6 0f them went to a friend of mine to start her flock.

For your hatch and helping a friend start a flock!
