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

 It's awful. I keep thinking of Ron's Set All The Eggs!

That's where I've been looking at them. They're running free shipping on them, but they are so expensive! 

I've seen those, too. I'm not as crazy about them as the Isabels. 

 So much so it's killing me.   

Haha I keep thinking the same! I've never hatched before but I want to plus want tons of breeds so now I have a hatching addiction before ever having hatched!

And ohhhh okay! I just looked up the Isabels, they are gorgeous! I just want all the Orpingtons ever haha same for Wyandottes, Australorps, and Rocks...

I found like a dozen Ayam Cemani eggs on eBay last night for like $40 and free shipping! It's too bad I don't like Ayam Cemani lol

... but you could hatch out some for meeeeeeee, neighbor!

Today is lockdown for me.

10 turkeys
3 silkies
9 or 10 lavender ameraucanas
14 or 15 CCL

Those blue eggs mix together and I can't tell which is which lol

I found some Speckled Sussex eggs on ebay. It's really torturous to NOT order them but I don't have an incubator yet so I gotta cool it lol but only $6 starting bid (although $15.50 shipping but that's not too bad) for 10+ but I think they include 12 and their birds are really pretty and and... looking at eggs was a bad idea

It is a very bad idea, I'm addicted to ebay and have spent hundreds of dollars on eggs (just this year

)

Not for me. I don't want shipped eggs. Looking at ducklings on the other hand...

(Boy, I wish I could find some welsh harlequin ducklings)

There are some decently priced listings on ebay for Welsh Harlequin dux eggs... one buy it now $28 and free shipping for 6+ eggs

I think I heard/read somewhere, that 99% of the ones that have pipped...will hatch on their own! ron?

It is a very high number and is very rare for a chick to not hatch if it pips.

Go Chickies!

Also if you live in the northeast, next week would be good for having eggs shipped. Only if they are shipped out Monday tho, cause then they'll probably arrive Wednesday and will be safe inside before that night when it gets really cold.

I just typed in Ayam Cemani hatching eggs and found sooo many more cheap ones... you need to buy them and buy me some Sussex or Orpingtons while you're at it
