The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[Cynthia12]

I just want to thank those who have offered me eggs for this hatch along.

it's a blessing to be a part of a community of kind hearted people. I got a call this morning as well from a friend who has 15 eggs in her incubator when it went out this morning. She has put them under a heat lamp and will be bringing me them this morning to hatch along with the eggs a very kind person here has offered to send. I'll withhold the name unless they say it's ok but I wanted to say a public THANK YOU!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.

Like I keep saying...I love BYC friends!!! Good for you..glad you got some eggs!

Let's do it this way. Day 1, is March 6th. The day after you set them on March 5th.

That depends on who you ask

 

[Cynthia12]

Wait untill they see them hatch!

I'm terrible and I'm way older than 6!!

LOL..it's true..it's true....for me too!

 

[Cynthia12]

I'm definitely in, setting 15 chicken eggs!

Ok guys so I messed up big time. I got so excited when I got my first green egg that I added it to the incubator then thought "this egg is going to need buddies" so I added three more. I created a staggered hatch due to hatch a week after my first hatch and now today day 18, the air cells are too small! I need help! Humidity right now is at 18%

Raise it...to mid 30's. You will be good. They will still be buddies, that isn't that far apart.

Jem...

Glad to see you around again...

lil bit between witner and throwing my back out

 

[Cynthia12]

Thanks, hon! Wish you could too... they can be messy, but so worth it!

I know, messy! I have friends that have them. This is why I can't, I just have a back yard. If I had the land, I would have them!

I showed my DH your photos..he had ducks back before we married. He was telling me just how smart they are! He had placed some ducks to a woman around 2 miles away..serious..and those ducks, walked, home. All the way..2 miles..3 days later, they were home! I asked him if he kept them..they decided to.

He said they were roughed up a bit, but man, they are as loyal as a dog!

Oh, no. Good luck with your hatches when you get some eggs.

Yes, Welcome to the 2016 Easter Hatch A Long!

Welcome to the 2016 Easter Hatch A Long!

Post the number of eggs you set, after setting them. That number tends to change for many people. We also prefer that numbers aren't given out until after the guess the number set contest is closed.

I think they are cute anyways.


Hatching Participant List is Current to Post 6133

thanks for the welcome

Sounds like you got a plan! Most of the chicks I'm hatching are spoken for, so I can set as many as I can fit in the bator.... and if all else fails I can clean my old one and try to hatch in it. I still need to fix it.

Shoot!! I hate to say it but I need to be removed from the list... I have eggs that wont hatch till the 12th of March so it will be to late for me!

 

[Cynthia12]

That depends on who you ask

True that!
