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

[Cynthia12]

Question I'm starting eggs in my incubator. And for the first few days in gonna turn them by hand. I ordered a auto turner that will be here soon. Will there be any problems from going from hand turning them then transferring them to a auto turner in a couple days?

Nope.

No problem.

Today I got my f2 Olive egger eggs for the Easter hatch!!! And they are beautiful!!! They were also packaged amazingly! There were styrofoam only the sides of the box, and then the eggs were in wrapped in 2 layers (paper towel and bubble wrap). And they were in all in a bed of wood chips. I got 8 eggs, and only 2 are cracked. But it all works out because my incubator only holds 7 eggs, and now I have room for my Silkie egg. Here they are:

Where did those eggs ship from Lisa ?

Arizona.

I am trying to get more diversity in my isbars by bringing in original import stock from the west. The problem is they are in the west. I've driven to OH, KY, GA and Ala. for eggs, but AZ, OR, and CA are a bit out of my usual routes.

First set of shipped eggs has arrived! They handle them special in MEMPHIS!!! Filing a claim. Have been working on it for about 2 hours and the stupid thing won't take the pictures. Frustrating day!

Oh no!!! I'm so sorry.

WOW!!! I haven't been online for a while and I am nearly 2000 posts behind!!

With everything that has gone on over the last couple weeks (Rec Soccer Championships, oldest turned 12 Celebration, impromptu trip to Orlando, FL to see family and go to Universal Studios) I haven't been able to post any updates. Well, the Easter HAL eggs for the classroom were set last Thursday. I actually was permitted some time to speak with the children about chickens and eggs. This set will be the sum total for this HAL. Too much going on. So here are my numbers

Heritage RIR = 4
Speckled Sussex = 3
Blue/Black/Splash Maran = 3
Salmon Faverolle = 2

Black bantam (can't remember which breed) = 1
Millie Fluer d'Uccle = 3
Gold Neck d'Uccle = 6
Backyard mystery mixes = 3

Grand Total eggs set = 25


Bonus update:
Returned from Orlando Monday night to two pipped duck eggs, one pipped chicken egg, and two hatched chicks. (Eggs were "locked-down" right before we left.) All have hatched and the newest duckling additions are adorable. The ducklings are White Crested/Rouen cross. The both look like standard Rouen except one inherited it's mother's crest.

This little one has already received the name Montana (Moe for short).

Tomorrow is another day and another batch of shipped eggs... The saga continues...

Dang, if it wouldn't be double for shipping we could start relaying around Memphis. I have a friend that lives near New Orleans and he would catch a pkg and put a new sticker on it and it would/should go straight to Nashville. Or if you know someone in say Pensacola that would do it, see what i mean ? But again postage is doubled.

Ok. That's to cute. The duckling huddled in the blanket.

I wish I could get serama eggs like that. Maybe they'd stand a chance at hatching.

Thanks everybody.

I hope the next batch gets to you safely.
