THE MOTHER'S DAY HATCH-A-LONG!!!! The last day to join in and set eggs with us is April 28th.

[Coop de Grille]

I just fired up the bator and will set 12 Maran eggs at noon!

My incubator is holding steady at 99-100 degrees. *crosses fingers* long as it stays that way, the eggs will go in at noon! I'm going to be attempting to dry hatch, which I've never intentionally tried before. (But maybe that's why I always had great hatch rates as a kid. I was terrible about remembering to add water. LOL) Humidity is floating between 20-25%.

Okay I'm so tempted... Other than having to stack eggs on top of each other...Will Some one Please Discourage me from Joining this hatch!!!!!!!

I'm serious now, I'm probably going to have to convert the spare bedroom to a brooder - seriously ------ Who at BYC will tell me not to start a hatch today....Please some one

.......

I've already pretty much done that! Now I keep saying, I need to get this stuff out of here, clean my room to cutsie again, and stop hatching. I have plenty of chickens for now. But wait, I have some Maran eggs coming form winning a prize in that last hatch a long..soo..will be using the room a bit longer I guess.

Hah! Is setting last Saturday considered too early?? If not, count me in. (giggle)

Yes! You need to join the Cinco de Mayo hatch for those and set more for this one!

Me too, though my incubators will be a BSL, an RIR and a Splash Cochin. 21 Iowa Blues.

I set 9 Sizzles I got from the April swap and 1 of my splash Silkies under a broody Cochin today!

I can't set more. Relative newbie here (haven't hatched in years) and my oldest kids are at the most 3 weeks. I don't think any amount of begging will get an egg of of those girls! lol
