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

We are due to hatch Saturday 4/4 over here... Why did I plan my sons bday party for the same day? I will be antisocial lol.

I plan on doing lockdown on Wednesdy morning. I have a few bantams in there and I've read that sometimes they hatch a little early?

No, that's good. It will keep you otherwise occupied so you keep your hands out of the bator.

Very true! It would be nice for the children to see some of the hatching happenings.

Well I was 49 for 50 at last candle, and everything was looking great. Woke up this morning and the bator was 104. No idea how long it had been like that. Today is day 14 for me, and I was going to candle tonight. I'm almost afraid to do it, now. The eggs felt pretty hot when I turned them.

So excited. Day 17 here, only one more day left and then lock down. I just hoping that they all hatch, had a heat spike to 102, not sure how long, but at least 7 hours on day 15. So we will just see, and I'm praying that I can get the humidity up. Been extremely hard just keeping it above 25 this hatch. Frustrating.

But I can see the end.... YES! Go Peeps Go!

I am wondering the same thing lol!

There is a thumbs up button at the bottom of each post. So instead of saying, great post/great pic only, you can click on the thumbs up button and it will open up a dialog box (optional). It serves 2 purposes:

1. Marks the ovation you get on your profile and if someone is following you, they can read all your posts that have received ovations
2. If more people start using it, it will reduce the number of posts to go through. For example many posts only comprise of Thank You or Congratulations. So those can be given as an ovation instead of a post.

So how many people are going to give ovations to this post?

The thumbs up button down by the quote button.

Hmmm, When I hover over it, it just says click if this was helpful. Somehow, I wouldn't refer to that as an ovation.

Also odd to me that there would be a limit..... Thanks for the info.

Yes, that's what it says. When you click on it you can either leave a message or just click the add to reputation.

I guess my hatch day is either Saturday or Sunday? I'm not sure, never could figure those numbers out. My eggs went in about 5 pm Saturday night the 14th. What day/time would I actually do the lock down?
