Valentine's Day 1st Annual Hatch Along

[misfitmorgan]

Lol glad u finally saw it. I haven't been BYC very much lately. Been too busy with Christmas& New Years. So busy in fact that I completely forgot I was gonna stay up last night and stay on the BYC NYD HAL!! Ig that means I was wayyyy too busy. Lol but I got my incubator made today. I just went with the typical& simple styro bator. It was so simple to make. I had pretty much everything I needed except for the cooler itself& a piece of glass or pexi-glass to use as a window. I bought a cheep frame from the Dollar Tree& just used the piece of glass. It makes a nice window. Anyways... sorry for rambling. But I am so ready for the VD HAL!!! I am going to try to hatch some of my barnyard mixes. They will be any of the following: RIRxRIR, RIRxBO, BlAxRIR, BlAxBO. My Blue Andalusian hens r not laying, but at least one of my BO hens r& two other hens that I'm not sure if they r RIR or BO. Hopefully, I'll also be able to hatch a few duck eggs. My neighbor has ducks& I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing a little trading.

Welcome back!!

Looks lile we'll be hatching our own eggs, they should be some ee and some polish mixed with our layers...lol a happy experiment maybe 24, no more

Welcome to the Vday HAL!!!

i'm glad i'm not the only one who has an obsession with the blue's lol. i got the french white muscovy's just because they are bigger and these are suppose to be for meat and eggs. i do want some Blues and lavs though...i dont like the pied choco much though...splash lavs are cool though.

Love blue chickens...I even have two blue dogs. (blue merle shelties)

Ooooh! That is also an idea. I want to get another Blue Laced Barnevelder or two. I hatched one a few months ago. He was the only one to hatch out of 12 eggs.

That sounds really pretty..do you have a photo?

I was going to wait until the Easter HAL. But since my numbers weren't so good in the NYD HAL, I think I'll join this one. I need more fuzzy bantam cochin butts!!

Being a male, he doesn't have the neat double lacing, but he's still very pretty. Here he is with an Olive Egger and a Tolbunt Polish.
