I'm in, I have some Silkie and showgirl eggs coming this week. May as well!

Contests..hmm..let's see. I know there will be some hatching something other than chicks..maybe? This would be for chicks..take a picture of your largest chicken egg. Compare it to something large, like a tennis ball..what ever you have, to show the size of the egg, largest egg wins. Then, a picture contest for the smallest chicken egg, can include bantams of course, but not quail, using a dime, or something similar to show the how small it is, but needs to be compared with the same object for all pictures..what ever is decided. Same for the largest eggs in either categories. chicks or turkeys, quail.
Maybe someone could come up with something for larger fowl, like the turkey or quail. Hey, pictures of the largest turkey egg, and pictures of the smallest quail egg.

Oh well, it's a thought.

Could do a random pick of a post for week one, two, and three..just one a week, for the first post picked randomly that has the words..."Good Luck" in it. There would be a lot of well wishing going on after that first week winner!!

Picture contest for your brooder..votes on that one.

How about, instead of cutest chick picture, the funniest stink eye chick picture. Votes for that.

How about a poem on your hatching. Short poem. Votes for that.

Cutest broody ~ or funniest look on broody while sitting and glaring at you.
There's a few..

Okay Java---count me in. I will set some of my own silkie eggs this time and see what happens. By the time they hatch, the older chicks should be in the coop. I hope. Otherwise I will be juggling space for brooder boxes! My dh is going to kill me! I am not an addict...I am not an addict...

I'll just happen to be setting some eggs Friday/Sat 4/20-21 so could I play? I'm new here and just started hatching some eggs myself. Never done it before. I have some in right now that will hatch this weekend, my very 1st I have a passion for Brahmas and have some light Brahmas hens that are my girls. The eggs are buff and silver and buff laced brahmas that I have in the incubator. I'll be setting some more silver and buff laced this weekend.

We have lots to share on incubating and other crazy stuff, just never know what subject is coming next . . . .but chickens are always a good option. Keep us posted on the pretty brahmas--pics required!!
