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

[seminolewind]

I don't know. My growth in my eggs doesn't look right. Only a few look like a bona fide "spider". The rest, well a few look like there's wispy lines all in one direction, or clear. Some of the yolks are not a blob, but a horizontal stretched blob. Maybe I should have candled before I set them. The ones with the growth do not look big enough, they should be further along. This is really furschtunken. I am glad I'm getting a new incubator today. I think this one would work much better for someone with 20-40 eggs. Not having luck with 12 silkie eggs.

Received beautiful Welsummer and Barnevelder eggs from @HappyChooks
Excellent packing and only 2 air cells displaced. I am pretty sure they will settle by tomorrow. All excited

Hi folks. I will not be setting any eggs this time. I have shipped eggs to several hatch along participants. I am just watching the progress. Good luck every1.

I don't suppose there happens to be a post with a list of all the guesses? Because I can't possibly go through 22 pages looking to see if my
9853
is there. I still have to dig out the incubator and set it up today. Yup, I'm lazy.

Hey everyone!! I just got a batch of B/B/S Marans eggs & Barnevelders, so I guess I'm in again this year! I was planning on sitting this one out, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, right? I'll be setting the 12th though, it's already killing me not to put them in right now, lol!

Welcome back! You can't resist us!

Jun, it's only a couple of days waiting, I would set them all on the same day. As long as they aren't sitting around for 7 days, if they were shipped.

Ditto.

I'll Post my numbers, and mine will get set Friday Night, or early Saturday morning. I have Girl Scout Cookie booths all day on Saturday so won't be home at Noon, but it will be close enough...Right?

Ekkkk,,,, I'm going to have fuzzy butts...

Close enough, yes. We are accepting any +/- 2 days.

@Jessshan8 is shipping out my turkey eggs today, yippee! We're past turkey set date- will they still count for the HAL if I set them Saturday?

Ugh, waiting is the worst!! I had to spend the night out of town, and when I got home humidity was down to 45%. I'm so afraid they'll be shrink wrapped now. It's Day 21 and I can't hear anything.

What day of incubation is "take up chain smoking and pace a trench in the floor"?

+/- 2 days of set dates, so no, the turkey eggs wouldn't count. But anything else you set in the time frame would.
