I thought you HAL was great fun Ron!!

Me Too!

Contests are part of the fun and should never be the sole reason for joining or cause for feelings getting hurt. Thanks for all you and the other project mgrs. and mods do keeping the fun going!

What will you be hatching?

Thanks!

My Pita Pintas are laying well and the Arkansas Blue egg layers and Partridge Penedesencas are nearly ready. I may also be hatching some Bresse for a person in Winters this year but I do not know when that will start up.

Pita Pinta:



Partridge Penedesneca



Arkansas Blues



Eggs! The blue eggs are Arkansas blue and the dark eggs are Partridge Penedesenca.

Exactly! In all the years I've participated (2 or 3 Easter Hatch-a-longs since I missed last year) I've never won anything, but it doesn't matter because the fun we have here is completely worth it! It's like you win no matter what because you get to meet new people, make new friends, help people that are having problems, get help yourself, and a ton of other things I can't think of at the moment! These things ALWAYS bring a smile to my face. It's the people, not the prizes.

It is always great to have you here! We will have great prizes for this hatch a long too.

I totally agree!! The people here are awesome. This will be my third HAL. Second Easter one and just was part of the NYD HAL.

I ordered green lace wing larvae on the three month plan about 15 years ago and they have established themselves at my place. I have very few aphids:

OK, although my "member since" date doesn't seem like very long, Ive actually been a member since 2007. I forgot my log in info and had to start over. That being said, Ive never joined a HAL. So....

IM IN!!!!!!!!!

I'll be hatching a bator full between now and March 14th though. But I can't wait to do it with Ya'll!!
