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

[Happy Chooks]

Happy Chooks and Sally Sunshine are either or both of you hatching?

Possibly. It's going to depend on if my meaties arrive on time and if they are in the freezer by then.

Completely off the subject, but, I just got my first egg from my FBCMs that I got from a livestock auction 2 weeks ago and my project Ameracuana eggs from luvinbluechickens just showed up!!!!
Marans egg with project AM egg

Congrats!

since I have emu eggs hogging all the space in my incubate I wont be able to do this hatch along, but I sure will follow it!!! looks so cool!

Dangit, you set at the wrong time! We have yet to have an emu hatch in this Hatch-a-long!

I'm in. Always something falling into my incubators. No clue how all those eggs keep getting in there.

LOL, it's magic.

I am in as well. Hatching JG's and JG/AM Crosses along with some BCM's.

Is there an egg swap to go with this hatch? Anyone know?

Someone usually starts a swap thread and then we link it. Sally, you want to start one, and send me the link?

How do I join?
I think I will set six chicken eggs, unless I end up setting turkey eggs.

Anyone know of a phone app that shows dates for lockdown and hatching, and maybe even has reminders for candling?

Consider yourself joined. Shhhhhh, don't tell us how many you're setting, it's a secret right now.

Lockdown is 3 days before hatch, so 4/16 would be lockdown for chicken eggs. Everyone will be talking about it, so no worries on forgetting.
