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

[Sally Sunshine]

Quote:
I use the bubble wrap and I have some thin underlayment type plastic foam I put between them bubblewrapped, then I either use shredded papers or more bubble wrap, in the outer box I do a combo of egg cartons, one under the box and then I cut one in half for each side and then I use crumpled newspaper in the holes and on top.

Anyone buying in bulk should know they will pay more, I would use the bigger box for the eggs and then get the largest 14" size to put that one in.

I know several different ways work, but its the knowing those corners of the boxes have room to give and not effect the inner boxes.

That is one of the best chicken pics I've ever seen, lol! You should put it in the Caption This contest. I can see a lot going through their minds!!

I always say that when she changes it, but she always ends up putting it back eventually, lol. And Montana Dolphin's been on here for a bit..and did the New Years Hatch-A-Long with us.

Don't Fret, she will change it Back soon. Sally often changes for a day or so but always goes back to the Smiling faced Avatar.

LOL..yeah, what's up with that frizzle? Maybe it's a NN frizzle and it's cold, so it's hiding it's neck. Cute photo!

Ok, I guess it's alright if Sally changes her photo once in a while.

Quote: me too! I have never even seen them roost all together! But we removed a Roo so perhaps this is why they are in one group now?

Jbenson reminded us of a hatch that had high temps. Thermometers are set and calibrated now so future hatches will not have this problem.

So happy for you!!!

Tubbys Lil Farm is finishing a Hatch on the 27th and will turn around and set with us on the 29th!

I have a batch set that's supposed to hatch on the 24th.

Thanks, Sally. I copied it to my chicken folder on my desktop!

Corny Caleb Wiggle checked emu egg B—No Wiggles….

I'm

for your emu egg too!!!

Gardeningmama had a Hawk Attack!

It got one and the Kids were disappointing

…angelobutter lost a Guinea to a hawk recently.

I'm sorry about both your hawk attacks!!! We have hawks here too.

That is funny! I need a really big Incubator!

He shipped in foam for the replacement package last year. Several still broke.

He might be willing to try shipping a different way for you. He did try and I did hatch out some Kittile line HRIR and one Partridge Rick Cockerel.

that foam is the wrong size for the eggs. i have had many shipments like that. One shipper was very abusive when I suggested it

there is too much side pressure on the egg and its weakest point.

large fowl eggs should be shipped in the 25 hole foam.
