Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

for those of us trying not to candle we have moved to chick tv while I clean out the hatcher for the 26th. This is the 8 we have hatched so far from February until now.

My eggs ship on March 2nd!! I should get them on the 3rd. How long do I let them settle? I have read 6 hours and 24 hours

Your egg arrival date is my hatch date!! So we’ll be excited for two different reasons.

You guys make me jealous with all these breeds and I'm here with barnyard mixes my flock is all purebreds though besides the newcomers I added

I am dying to hatch some of my flock's eggs to see what comes out! I have a frizzle roo and a SLW roo, and a wide variety of hens. I'm thinking I could get some interesting birds! Possibly even "sizzles".

I rested mine pointy-end down in an egg carton on the counter for about 24 hrs.

I think hatching our own eggs is the most fun. Since you never know what you're going to get.

I have a jersey giant cockerel and a silver sebright rooster. I have several purebred hens and pullets. I've had some interesting mixes. I kept two from my Halloween hatch because they're amazing.

I'm not sure if this is Spook or Wednesday, but they're practically identical just different black markings in different spots. Hard to tell them apart. She's part jersey giant.

Candled all my eggs! Out of 22, I have 4 that I think are clear and 3 that I am questioning. All the rest had lil beans! let's hope things continue to go well.

Oh for sure! I can see myself checking notifications for chick pics while also keeping an ear out for the arrival of the eggs

OK thanks.. First time with shipped eggs and new breeds so I want to do everything right

This is a great hatch-a-long to be in! Lots of experienced people to help out. This is my first hatch ever...I picked up my eggs and drove them home, so they probably had a much gentler ride than a lot of shipped eggs but still! I'm trying to hatch BBS ameraucana, BBS and black copper marans, lavender orpington, and salmon faverolles...I really want these breeds so am hoping for a good hatch rate!

Fingers crossed for you!
