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

[LaGeniaLoca]

I'm so sorry I haven't posted my numbers yet! I've been sick since last Thursday. I have 36 barnyard mix, 3 serama, 3 NN, 3 phoenix, 1 mixed duck, 7 Ancona ducks, 8 coturnix quail and 16 button quail. That's a total of 77.

I haven't read the last 4000 posts, but I'll try to keep up now. I don't want to miss out on all the news and pictures!

And for those that are already into the next day.........................................

I added 3 more Monday at 5pm. Is it too late to add them to total the count?

Hopefully I haven't royally screwed up my first staggered hatching. 16 on one day, 30 on another, then a couple more, and a couple more. I only have a stryo-incubator for incubating and hatching.

Your good with adding them to the count and you should be ok with the stagger.

ok I set 14 serama's today on top of the 78 already stated. for a new total of 92 (My wife is going to kill me

) Shhhh don't tell her she will find out in three weeks anyway right?

Serama's are too cute for your wife to get mad, besides adding 14 is like adding 3 LF, it was just a rounding error.

We had a little mishap and are setting 5 olandak dwarfs. Windowsill eggs are NOT for family omlets!!!!!!!!!

One of my favorite breeds. Good layers and handle the winter, tough little guys (don't tell them I said that).

Am I too late with my set numbers? On Sat, I set 41 eggs from Chickengirl1304 : 15 Cream Legbar, 12 FBCM, and 14 Langshans. Then I decided to do a test hatch with a turner that my DH rigged up for my GQF cabinet hatcher so I loaded it with 52 eggs: 20 Pita Pinta/Cream Legbar mix, 5 Pita Pinta/Langshan mix, 19 Pita Pinta, 7 Langshan/farm mix, and 1 blk Langshan. So my total number for the hatch is 93!

Nope, timing is fine. Thanks for the update.

Well, I have ducklings due to hatch the week before Easter and goslings due 3-4 days after Easter, but it looks like I didn't plan ahead enough for them to actually hatch the day before Easter... guess I`ll have to officially join this hatch-a-long next year. :/

Sad face, hope to see you next year. Keep us updated anyways, we love ducklings and goslings!

I hope you are feeling better. Thanks for the update, the daily digest would catch you right up.

An actual sane person! Good luck with your hatch. What are the eggs, or is it a secret?

I have over 20 fluffy little babies in the hatcher now! There are 8 Rhodebars, 4 Blue/Black Copper Marans, 5 Blue Wheaten/Wheaten Ameraucanas, Chocolate Bantam Orps and my F1 Chocolate bantam Cochin project. The Rhodebars, Marans and Ams were shipped eggs. Of course, there are more little Rhodebar boys than girls... 5 to 3. Love that autosexing!

I will have to post pictures and a final count tomorrow. What with getting new birds, new chicks and managing the farm with 4 children, one of whom was home sick - I just didn't get it all done today!

Some chicks. Loving the diversity in this batch!

EE's, some under a Brabanter (black EE's) and some under a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana; GLW ; and MFL

I figured since I can't sleep I would get my numbers posted. I am so far behind on this thread between being sick for 2 days & starting homeschooling for 2 kids this past week. I haven't even had a chance to read Ron's digests the past several days, but will head there next. Here are my totals set to hatch 4/19 +/- 2 days (4/17-4/21)

62 Rainbow Layers & Polish mix set to hatch 4/17 as turkey tutors
4 Turkey set to hatch 4/19
5 Ancona duck set to hatch 4/19
8 Call duck set to hatch 4/19
55 Rainbow layers & Polish mix set to hatch 4/21

TOTAL NUMBER SET 134


If I need pix I can get them, but I forgot on the turkeys & ducks & pulled clears over the weekend to make room for more chicken.
