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

[sunshinechick83]

Ive got 20 locked down... wow they days have flown by!! I had 2 clears and one I went to candle around day 7. When i picked it up my thumb just went right throgh the shell! I was so sad. It looked like it was developing really nicely. Crud.
I am crossing my fingers big time as we are trying to hatch our first silkies this time. 4 of them are in and on candling they have looked fantastic.

Good luck all!!

Sorry, it just gets on my nerves when a whole page is filled with nested quotes.
EDIT: I just realized that if you click the multi quote button that it will let you quote from several pages at once without pasting!!!!

While the nested quotes don't bug me too much, I do wish there was a setting limit on how many to include. I would like to be able to include just the 2 most recent.

The extreme multiple users all multi quoting the same pictures over and over again is more of an annoyance to me. It will be happening in this thread soon too.
Someone will post an adorable, lovely or funny picture of a chick and it will be size medium or large. Then at least 10-12 other people will quote that picture and it gets re-posted. I try to remember to resize pictures in the quotes when I post but I miss a few. Its something to consider. Sure the chick talking is funny the first few times but when every post on the page is a post with the same picture it becomes an art of scrolling to get to the discussion parts of the thread.

That is funny.

Only dream that could top it was the one where I had some Olive pits/seeds growing under my wrist. When I tried to pull them out my hand came off like a glove and under it were a bunch of Olive's growing and in background I had this exclamation, Thats what was causing my wrist pain! So I took out all the pits along with their shoots and tried to put my hand back on but it wouldn't fit. What are dreams without any trouble!

I guess I had been reading too many posts about Olive eggers!

I have a pip....

I wasn't planning on any of them starting to pip till tomorrow. Day 21 is really Friday. I set them a day early since I'm going out of town, and taking them with me. They are being hatched for my sister and her friends out of state. But really... This baby is early, and its so nosy. She is announcing herself as here I come. The rest are all quiet, and not too much wiggles out of them yet... Or I managed to have 1 out of 32 hatch, which I hope not...

Since joining BYC and getting some experience under my belt, I don't know how many times I have said "It can take 12-24+ hours from pip to zip. Be patient." To new hatchers. It so much easier to say than do....lol It's different when it's yours eggs sitting there with pips and no progress.....lol Pure torture!

Yep! Even after 4 years of hatching.
