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

[SilkieSensation]

Just got the big order of eggs a friend wants me to hatch I am going to let them sit until friday morning so that I can include them in the easter hatch along am I correct that if I set them then they can be included?

You can actually set tomorrow (Thursday) & have them count for the hatch-a-long. My chicks are going in tomorrow because I want them to hatch a little ahead of the poults they will be tutoring.

Quote: Yes he had two actually. I got to see the results from one of them today. His bones are visibly solid. He just has that much fluid and swelling around his ankle. He has to go back next week to make sure it is making progress. If not they may do an MRI. Thanks for the concern.

Wow, that is really swollen!

Set my Brinsea up today.

About to flood the thread with a few of the fuzzy butts that have already hatched here. First some of my backyard crosses from the rainbow project. Given their tufted cheeks and shape of combs, it appears my Ameraucana/Araucana roo is likely the dominant roo in my mixed breed flock. We'll see for sure when we see if any of them frizzle.



And a couple of the d'Uccle mille fleurs. They are so tiny, much smaller than the crosses.

Cute pictures! You should enter this one in the Cutest Baby Fowl Contest!

Poor baby, that looks painful! Don't tell him I called him a baby, especially since he's a tween! But that's a baby to me! Bless his heart.

Count me in! I'm a little late on the draw here, but just in time! I've already hatched two settings (4 survived the first one, and they're 4 weeks old now; the second had 14 and they're 2 weeks old... staggered hatches). I have 1 eggie due to hatch tomorrow, and 12 more coming out of the 'bator Friday night, for hatch on the 31st. Was wondering if I should shut it off, because I have Bourbon Red turkey eggs arriving the week of the 21st of April. Now, this! LOL! Perfect timing in getting in on the right date, and it will be empty in time for the turkey eggs! Yea!

I am dealing with a seeping egg today....The rail is out of the turner and the egg is soaking....It better not break because it is a Stinker!

Did you hurry and get it?!! No seeping onto other eggs I hope!

I got it out without breaking it!

Whew!

Yeah same thought here - and secretly they still like being thought of as poor baby anway
