The 7th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-A-Long!

[meesh480]

  How long has she been broody?  Want to make sure she stays first!  I learned that one.  If she has been on for a couple of days, she's probably good to give a chance with babies.  I'm thinking of doing the same with my silkie that went broody a couple of days ago.  I know she would stay on the eggs, but not sure what kind of mom she will be. This would be her first time being a mom. 

She has been broody for 4 days. The first two days she left when I let everyone out to graze. Now she won't leave her nesting area for anything. how many eggs are you going to put under your hen?

Just locked down my Easter Hatch-Along eggs! Had a good number of clears in this batch, along with a couple of blood rings, so I am down to 37 out of the original 57 set. Air cells seemed a leetle bit small to me so I am waiting until tomorrow morning to increase humidity instead of tonight like I did last week.

Here is the E-HAL Lockdown Breeds & Numbers...

9 - Jubilee Orpingtons
8 - Bielefelders
6 - Blue/Black French Copper Marans
5 - Partridge Silkies
4 - Swedish Flower Hens
3 - Wheaten Ameraucanas
2 - Wheaten AM x Polish/Sultan

Back to the waiting game for the first pip!

So excited to see these new breeds!!!

Someone please reassure me that I'm not completely crazy for driving an hour and a half each way to pick up more hatching eggs.... Lol
