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

[ocap]

there is at least one peeper in the incubator, 30 hours early.

My geese are still in the running!

Candled two days after accidentally misting them with disinfectant cleaner instead of distilled water. The vasculature was still present, and there were no rings of death. They were not happy about being candled, but it was reassuring to watch them protest within their eggs. (Frankly I'd protest too if someone hit me with that much candle power before my eyelids developed!!) They also still smelled fabulous.

So far, these poor eggs spent an overnight half submerged in near freezing melt water, and got deodorized and disinfected. At this point, I am pretty sure that they are not actually geese, but some mutant super-avian species bent on world domination... Which are scheduled to hatch out Easter day...

Thanks for the laugh I need it after my new Bator cooked my eggs last night.

I have a girl who is full on broody. She just started to set this weekend and I didn't want to start her with eggs until I was sure she was staying put. She is young and this will be her first brood but I am going to let her keep her clutch today. I realize I am out of the window for the Hatch a long but I plan to tag in just to chat and get advice as I have only had one other broody hatch.

Love her coloring! And glad you are sticking around!

Back at ya.

My turner (holds 41) wasn't doing anything for the 9 eggs on top so I've started turning them myself. When you guys rotate your eggs around in the bator, is there any rhyme or reason to it?

Is she an Icelandic? Whatever she is, she is very pretty!
