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

[holm25]

Thanks. I haven't seen him breed her, but then again I am not always watching..

When I was breeding ducks I never saw them breed but their eggs were always fertile.

Ducks are pretty sneaky then.

Sounds like guineas fowl. I don't even know what their breeding looks like.

But they're always fertile as well.

Good morning!!!

I was going to follow and get my proverbial "ducks in a row"...lol.
But who am I kidding, I LOVE hatching.

Please sign me up and if it isn't going to happen for me, I'll let you know.
At the very least I can be on the sidelines cheering.

I'd also like to donate a prize.

I'll pm Happy Chooks.

Thanks for donating!

I'll be setting eggs for sure, hopefully my chocolate Legbar project eggs if the roo realizes he isn't a hen

. If I don't get fertile eggs from them then I'll just buy some more chocolate orp eggs.

Fill us in on the legbar project!

I want to enter!! I got two incubators so definitely count me in, I'm hoping to have some duck, turkey or geese eggs along with my chicken eggs!

Geese are said to be hard to hatch! I hope you have a great hatch if you set them.

Oh and you can add me to the list!

It is good to have you back hatching with us!

Just ordered a new Genesis last night, any opinions, or input from those of you that use that type? I have 15 serams and 15 buff orpingtons on day 9 right now in my old hova bator. I will probably try out the new incubator with a full batch of Buffs for the Hatch-a-long.

Genesis is a great incubator! Make sure the temps are correct though.

I have 2 Genesis, been using them for 3 years... great bators, steady and reliable... it should do you well...

I have two that I use as backup incubators and hatchers. I love them!

Oh yes they are! I thought my Magpie hen wasn't laying, I checked the house where she and the drake are and there were three eggs.

I just got my first goose egg of the year so I will probably be setting geese.

Do you have pics of these "Chocolate Legbars"? They sound interesting. I have cream Legbars right now. I was planning on setting up a trio of them for breeding but I decided to stick with Buckeyes and Orps this year.

Good luck with your project and let's hope your roo can sort his gender identity crisis out

With two incubators you sure will be busy! Good luck with all those eggs

Oh and you can add me to the list!

Congratulations!

Geese scare me though

I need opinions, I could start storing eggs tomorrow, and have them hatch on st, patrick's day, and then have the next batch hatch on Good Saturday, the day before Easter. What do you think? Will people by ducklings right after Easter? The sooner I get ducklings the better right?
