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

[ronott1]

I'm looking forward to next years Easter hatch. I promised DH I wouldn't start hatching again until the Easter hatch along at the earliest. New eggs from this years pullets are already calling my name to hatch them But alll my incubators are getting shut down and put away in just 4 days.

For next years hatch along I plan to hatch Cream Legbar, black and blue copper Marans, and possibly blue/splash silkies.

Anyone else already planning ahead?

Next year I will be breeding

Pita Pinta







Partridge Penedesenca











and Arkansas blues

The pita Pinta looks like a great bird. How large do they get? Do they have good personalities?

The cockerels grow quickly to 8 pounds or so and stop there. They are just a bit smaller than Bresse at 20 weeks old and will dress out close to 4 to 5 pounds then.

They are very friendly and smart. They are my favorite breed now.

What are you hatching for the NYD hatch a long?

Options from my place are Pita Pinta, Arkansas blue and Partridge Penedesenca.

When will the thread start for the NYD hatch along? If I can get in on it I will be hatching ducks and maybe some silkies

Oooooh! What will I hatch? There are so many want to try and only so many pens I can build! I would like to hatch Harlequin quail and Buttons and maybe Snowflake Bobs.

I would like to hatch Rosecomb Nankings or maybe Pyncheons Bantams.

I DEFINATELY want to hatch Breda.

I would like to hatch Black Olmec Quetcha and/or some Huastecs.

I might try some Black Crested White Polish.

Then their are the Fresian eggs that were offered on Ebay this summer.
