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

[ronott1]

Wow either way that first one has a way big cell

I'm getting one! Mine fell apart tonight, I almost cried!

I'll definitely be keeping you updated...and vice versa!


This egg represent what most that came from NC looked like. This was the damaged box. I hesitate to say this is the aircell, I think the membrane is detached...Any thoughts?


This is one from Florida:


This is my own from Yesterday:

I say:




Use a pencil and mark the air cells as they incubate. When they are set to hatch, watch for the pips if they pip way outside the lines of the aircell, they may need help because they may pip into a bad spot.

Saddle air cells are tough but you can still get a bunch of them to hatch ok!

Can I just say one thing? ron..you are awesome...put that in your digest!! I best see it there next time.

Really though, thank you for doing this again this year..it's great to see what I missed out on when I scrolled through..well, rather quickly at times.

Thanks!

I feel bad about putting myself into the digest. I did today though....

I totally agree with you Cynthia! like, there is almost no way to thank ron for all he has done! its priceless! really!

I hope it helps with the hatch a long participants keeping up. It helps me keep a picture of the hatch a long in my mind. I fell very close to everyone when I do this.

You are such great hacth a holics on here!

Should I not bother setting them at all? I would hate to grow a baby that wouldn't have any shot at getting out.

A few 3 day old serama chicks from HarmonyAnn our daughters frizzle project birds! I am so in love with a few of them, already see three frizzles!

Baby bringing up the rear has the Serama posture down pat already, lol! I love that! Is the black one a micro? Lord, that's tiny!

BTW...hope you had a Sunshiney kind of day Mrs. Sunshine!

I do, I do!

Got another Faverolle egg, that one's for the incubator too! How precious. Can't wait!

It looks like maybe the air cell is that large because it separated? Mine from NC look like that. A couple are saddle shaped but are still only on the top, not moving down the length of the egg. Maybe I can get pictures tomorrow....must sleep.....
