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

[misschickenlittle]

Just skipped about 278 posts... Digest here I come!

Excited about setting eggs tomorrow. Unfortunately my last box of eggs is arriving at my work tomorrow and I won't be there until Monday.

. Oh well. At least I know they will be sitting still for 24 hours!

So I'll be setting at least one incubator tomorrow before I head off to a cousin's wedding. But I might hold off reporting what i set until towards the end of the +/- 2 days range - if all the egg hatching action looks done from this weekend's hatch before deadline, I will attempt to set another incubator too. That will give me three going - the pre-HAL week set, then two for the HAL set. Think if I tell the chicks everyone who hatches before noon tomorrow gets treats every day for life, they will hurry up and hatch?

I'm in, but I have to work 9-6 so mine will be set before noon. I'll be hatching Welsummer and Speckled Sussex

Welcome!

I made a score today with getting a hold of some new grow out pens! This is the inside of the box. It already has a perch. Now I realize it needs some paint yet. My oldest son ( not the one that is hurt) and I replaced the wire the whole way around this afternoon. This one was a rabbit hutch but I am going to use it for chicks or ducklings. And the inside.. Maybe not a big deal for some, but I am quite pleased with today!

Great Find! Welcome!

She hatched 6

Love the mommas. I wish I could raise all mine that way.
