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

NOOOOOO! I'm supposed to get 3-6 inches of snow tomorrow.

It's spring, darn it. I want it to be spring. Someone show me some pictures of blue skies, flowers, and green grass. Preferably including baby chicks.

Same here. We are expected to get 2-5inches tomorrow

No chicks around here yet, but here you go.

I can't apologize enough. I'm out. I got extremely ill last week and couldn't finish the incubator rebuild and didn't want to start eggs in the LG. So my set # is zero. Sorry for the delay.
Hopefully I'll get it done by tomorrow and set the eggs I've been collecting.

Hope you are feeling much better now. There is nothing worse than feeling very poorly. Good luck with setting your eggs you have collected.

Can someone link me to advice on jiggly air sacs. I have a few...

Pineapple has been shown to be better than most cough medicines - it is a natural anti-inflammatory.

Thanks. I'll try it. I'm going to the market today and will pick up a fresh one. I love pineapple.

Thanks. This is the first time I've had a sniffle in 7 years. Strength is coming back slowly.

You know your mind is stuck thinking about incubation when eating a marshmellow peep ends with trying to decide if the box they come in would be deep enough to hatch Coturnix quail in to keep them out from under the LF eggs in the egg turner during a staggered hatch.

I think it is too shallow...I have never hatched quail before are they good climbers?

Sally sunshine has a section in this article on detached /mishapen air sacs https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-eggs-101
Good luck with them, I find incubating upright and hatching in cartons very useful for them.

Oh dear you guys getting snow, that is so sad. Snow is such a DRAG this time of year. At least it usually doesn't stick for too long, right?

 I hope you're feeling better!

X2!

Sorry, I have no useful advice whatsoever. This just made me want Peeps, lol!
