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

[chicken pickin]

OK enablers. I am still hunting down eggs for the hatch a long... there never seem to be much in the way of bantam eggs on the BST pages. Anyone know someone with modern game bantams, belgian D'Anvers, japanese, dutch, or old english eggs for sale? I have found some, but not in time for the 29th. Worse case scenario I will use my CCLegbar roo over my layers and make some sex-linked easter eggers (or easter leggers).

I have Japanese, only one hen laying though and they aren't show quality, just pet quality. I also have mixed breed bantams, 3 of which are laying.

You can PM me if your interested.

Now that's a nice looking little Rosie..pig. She looks happy.

She is a happy pig. Her favorite place in the house is the kitchen because she always wants food. And then she sleeps the whole day.

You called that one Happy Chooks (I had a feeling that would happen too). Bought my 2nd batch of Call eggs for this hatch-a-long at about 8:00 last night, and look what Poppy did for me this morning...(the egg is actually green, don't know why the color is sooo off). Side note :God is a God of perfect timing. I have said all along, I'll bet God holds her off so that she lays the first egg exactly when she should for the set date. Do you get more perfect than exactly 6 days till set date for Calls? I think not! Maybe I should have exercised a little more faith, lol!!

OK OK OK I'm in

I will set 123 eggs from any local chickens I can find lol!!

Welcome!

An update on my wrong-end pipp. I very slowly chipped away at the pip hole last night, using flat tweezers and the q-tip gently to re-moisten the membrane. The beak was already out, but I think it just went too long like that. She didn't make it. She had really dark beautiful markings on her, too.
I have one egg left in the incubator, which I candled this morning. No movement. If I get back from work today and it still hasn't hatched, I'll probably give up on it too.
I did get the one chick, who is mighty lonely right now. He hatched Sunday. There were only three eggs that made it to lockdown.

My husband offered to go to the hardware store after work and pick up some friends for him. Our state minimum is six.

Oh, I'm sorry.

She is a happy pig. Her favorite place in the house is the kitchen because she always wants food. And then she sleeps the whole day.

Too cute!

Hopefully Pumpkin will follow Poppy's lead and start laying.

[COLOR=800080]I just paid for my second batch of Call eggs. So, I'll have something to set for sure...my girl just keeps building the nest over and over again...maybe she should start thinking about putting something in the nest! [/COLOR]

Well, now that you have bought 2 batches of eggs, I'm quite certain yours will start laying.

My calls all lay green too. They range barely tinted seafoam to a light teal.
