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

[jwlpoultry]

WOOP WOOP !! Got my e-mail today. . .my eggs are on their way from Hog Creek Ranch. Should be here Thursday. The date for receiving when i ordered them was March 25th. So i msgd Phillip Schardt at HCR and told him if at all possible i needed them before the 5th for the HAL. He told me he would do his best and apparently he did cause they will be here in plenty of time. Orpingtons,  Orpingtons,  Orpingtons  !!!!

What color Orpingtons? I got my first Lavender Orpington egg today.

Question for you all. I'm new to egg hatching. I set my first eggs 20 days ago. Today I came home from work and looked in the bator and one has piped. Oh I am an excited chicken mama until I looked at the thermometer and see that my incubator is almost 110 degrees. I'm not seeing any movement in the egg the piped or any others. Do you think I cooked them all? Can they survive that high of heat during lock down?

I hope they are ok!

It is the time at 110 that will kill them. They can take it for a bit.

(You need a better incubator)

I hear you, my DH came around too. With the whole chicken thing. Now, when I need to sell one of my girls, he says..what? You're selling Mable? Not Mable!

My DH is always saying "They are all fowl." The other day he saw a picture of a Shamo and a Malay and I told him how big they were. He said that would be cool to have one of those walking around the yard.

First two dozen eggs are in the incubator. Let's see how this goes

Good luck to everyone receiving eggs in the mail this week! I hope yours all show up in better shape than mine did!
