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

[aalissa]

About 14 hatched and 5 or so piping. So far this little dumpling is my fave. Love the muff and the chipmunk stripes.

How adorable...so is the chick going to keep that name "Dumpling",cute name for him her. Beautiful babies.

Happy Easter to everyone. I hope you all have a great day.

I am so happy for everyone that has new life in their incubators & brooders and (((hugs))) to everyone that has had difficulties with their chicks.
This is my first hatch-a-long and I get up every morning hoping to see new babies, it's all very exciting and heartbreaking at the same time. I think you all are very brave to put your eggs in incubators. I think for me that I'll be waiting a long while before before I buy an incubator, it seems very difficult to hatch them if you don't have feathers.
Thank you for allowing me to participate vicariously through you.

I GOT CHICKS!
I came down this morning with the trays still on the bottom shelf, turning away happily and 3 stunned chicks on the bottom.
I never turn off the turner and do 'lockdown'.
I put the trays on the bottom and filled up the water as humidity was at 30%. How these 3 got out in those conditions is beyond me!
Loads more pipping

Happy Easter all!

Final hatch count, 14 out of 22
9 marans
3 mixes
2 OEGB

probably the worst hatch of my own eggs ever but I did have a power outage for a couple hours last week so I know these babies are tough

HAPPY EASTER !!!


Kiddos woke up early and found their Easter baskets and I woke up to find 9 chicks have hatched in total one is zipping and about to hatch and there are a few pips. I hope today is a very active hatching day. Nothing still from my incubator that was running cool, though I candled them last night and I have interdental pips from some of them so there is still much hope.
