The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

[ronott1]

I also learned today you can stack extra eggs on top of the eggs in the turner of a hovabator, taking the capacity to 72! Guess I will be setting an extra 30 eggs this go round!

Are you sure you cannot get more eggs in there?

If you take out the egg turner, I'm sure more will fit. My memory (which sucks quite honestly) in past hatches says I've seen 96 or so eggs in a hovabator.

My eggs are on order.

I'll be hatching Barnevelders, Cream Legbars, Sapphires (Cream Legbar/Leghorn cross for high output of blue eggs), maybe a few Ameraucana's, and possibly Olive Eggers. Gotta replace my losses and get my Barnevelder breeding flock going again.

I've had wrong way pippers hatch on their own just fine. Don't hatch them in cartons though.

I had to look them up, never heard of that breed. Holy cow, what a HUGE dog!

I've ALWAYS loved BIG dogs! We have a facebook page for our mini farm, SONquility. It has pictures of the puppies and the chickens.
The parents are still growing, even though they are almost 2 years of age. (Mom will be 2 years in 2 weeks and dad will be 2 end of next month.) I've been told they grow for 3 years.

96?!?!?!?!?! Now that is a lot of eggs!!!!! But you also have to hand-turn them..... Eh, too much work lol

I don't mind it when it comes to the chickens BUT when it involves the PUPPIES, I have to say that we can NOT keep them ALL.
(We have a litter of 7 Caucasian Ovcharka that will be 6 weeks old on Saturday.)

This was a week or so ago. They're about 12 pounds each right now, except for the runt girl, she's about 5 1/2 pounds.

Looked them up..I thought I knew what they were. Yep, I love me a big dog! Just beautiful!

You turn the incubator and not the eggs. Tilt onto a book or something and then tilt on alternate sides each time you need to turn the eggs(two or three times a day).

Go for 96!
