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

[hershy5252]

My very first hatch is over, what an exciting time. My 5 are doing well and I owe it all to byc!!!! Thank you all for being here! I read a lot and have learned so very much by all the posts.. Couldn't have done it with out y'all. I really want to put some pics up but I am having an issue with my phone I just keep getting a big cancel bar. And upload will not work.

Lol, I just noticed my screen name on the first page says sunshinechick98 instead of 83. I find it particularly funny because it's my birth year. I'm 15 years yonger!!

You lucky duck!! I wish I was 15 years younger

Ok so I have a chicken egg ( sorta larger than average) and it's been rocking back and forth throughout the day should I assist it because it has not pipped yet I'm getting worried

Leave it for now. If it's only started doing it today, it hasn't been long enough yet. It can take them a while to get into position before they pip externally.

Yes, I can tag you with updates!

I'm not sure if I'll be joining the April HAL. I'll be incubating...but things are getting busy here.
I'll see.

** I forgot to add that I thought about what you mentioned about the speed of the fan I was using. Instead of having it plugged in as 120, I disconnected the adaptor and plugged it into the usb on my surge bar. That slowed the fan down, so I'm trying it that way.

Loving all these chickie pictures!
We have two hatched out, we'll see about the remaining 3. No pips yet.

Here is our first hatcher, an Ameracauna x Australorp:



Aaand a little family collage:

He/she looks like SUCH an inquisitive chick! Like he's thinking about solving world problems or something....lol.
Very sweet!

Ok thanks raz

No problem. I know how frustrating it can be and a lot of times they end up hatching just fine. Just keep an eye on it if you're really worried.

I only had 2 hatch out of 79 set

Only 24 made it to lockdown but the 2 that hatched are perfectly healthy babies. Not sure how they hatched ok but not the others

New incubator is on its way (Sorry @Sally Sunshine but I don't have time to build one right now and I must set more eggs

) The babies that hatched are a BCM and a gold partridge brahma.
