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

[Cynthia12]

The box did not smell at all..not the eggs either..and man, they are just gorgeous! There are the OE's I have been wanting! And the blues! Darn, I hope some are ok. They are still under 2 weeks from being gathered..some say the 23 and 24th. May have a chance. Oh, found out why they are late..wrong address on the box.

A simple mistake..she put an East and a West ..plus, for some reason, there is a 1 marked through the O on the zip. So a couple of things throwing the P.O. off, even though it's clearly marked Utah..and the city too.

Ready for the cuteness overload?

This is Speck. She was second out and out of a green egg. Yesterday I didn't think she had feathered legs but as you can see it does.

Then came Eno who surprised me this morning by having 5 toes. I'm not sure how I missed it, but I did.

And last for the chicks was Spice. It hatched completely unwatched. I saw all the others. And it has 5 toes as you can see.

Love the baby pictures!

I just put on lockdown 28 buckeye and buff orps. Ready for some chicks myself.

I did candle a few of my Easter bunch and quit because I was so disappointed in the ones I bought, only saw 3 of 18 lavs that looked like they had veins. I am going to have to quit buying eggs. I put BIG bucks into eggs and they don't develop. I picked both batches up this year and no better than what I have had shipped in the past. So disappointing. I think my eggs will do better so will have some babies anyway.
