This year I thought I would try starting my first hatch-a-long. You're welcome to choose an egg to root for.
If you'd also like to name your egg, I have naming themes that should be followed. This year the themes are:
Silkies: Greek mythology and Percy Jackson related names.
Project chicks: Anything starting with the letter A. (This can be anything – flowers, human names, etc.)
I can't guarantee that I'll be able to tell the chicks apart at hatch. If you do think of a name that follows the given theme, I will be sure to give a chick that name if your chosen egg hatches.
I've got 22 silkie eggs from my black, white, and paint silkies. They're from young pullets, so I have no idea how well they'll be fertilized.
Then I have 9 project eggs. What will come out of those is a bit of a mystery. They'll most likely be penciled or patterned with crests, some may be lavender, some will have light skin and some will have dark skin. There's a lot more that they may or may not inherit from the parents. I just really hope they won't be silked.
Together there are 31 eggs due to hatch on March 2nd.
