The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[OneMountainAcres]

Looks like I'll be setting OEGB eggs now! My little bantam hen just started laying again after her winter break

Take me off the list please

I do have a broody but I have committed her to raising some chicks I am getting from Urch poultry. In order that I never again miss a HAL because of a serious lack of broodies, I am ordering my Brinsea on Friday but it won't be here in time obviously for the Easter HAL. You guys all have fun! Happy and Successful hatching wishes to all of you!!!

Quick question, I started collecting eggs yesterday, the coop temp was probably about 45 degrees so the eggs were cold. Will they be okay? They're in the house now, and I'll be sure to collect them before any chance of freezing.

Oh and unless I can get some hatching eggs from some where else, the daddy will be my dark cornish too (sure hope he isn't shooting blanks), and the moms will be dark cornish, a couple golden comets (Isa Brown strain) and my little Dominiques.

This should be fun!


They should be fine! If they were never frozen. It does sound like a fun hatch.

They will be fine.

Safe travels for hatching eggs on their way to Junibutt for the Hatchalong. (Welsummers and Barnevelders)

They are on their way!

My shipped eggs will be here either the 11th or the 12th. Can I still do this is I have to set on the 11th since that is more than +/- 2 days?

If so I will be setting mottled javas (shipped) and marans, speckled sussex, white silkies and millie fleur d'anver bantams from my own flock

Test hatch was basically a success. Running a little slow but no worries. I am sure you guys will want to see baby pictures!

And finally the little one that I thought wasn't going to make it!

Absolutely adorable!!! Congrats!!

I had to switch gears a few times on what I was setting...first was going to be some of my own eggs, but no one here is laying yet, second was going to be some B/B/S Ameraucanas, but they too are not laying, so my HAL has been saved by Papa's Poultry! I've got a mix of my favorite breeds shipping to me today. I won't know the exact make up for breeds until I get my package, but I'm super eggsited!
