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

[Razadia]

Who was it that couldn't get Silkie eggs because they were accidentally broken? I can't remember.

The reptibator was ready to go so I went ahead and set my eggs tonight. 41 Easter Egger eggs is my official entry for the HAL.

Quote:
The strawberry trays are brilliant, do you close the lid? I thought about that. If I did not do a staggered hatch, I could just put something else on the shelf the trays go on.

Yes I close the lid. There are slits in the sides where the air can rotate and circulate through like it needs too. I have some fine mesh wire that I cover the top with so they can't jump sections on the homemade hatching tray also.

I was hoping for my light brahmas to start laying by now, but they didn't. I will set tomorrow
24 eggs from my backyard mix
