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

[flocktastic]

LOCKED DOWN 38!!! I'm highly suspicious of 2...possibly 3 but since they were so questionable, I decided to leave them for now since there's no smell, oozing, etc.

But I think they're blanks...she'll is pretty dark though so hard to tell for sure.

Anyway...fingers crossed and here weeeee goooooo!!

I have a question. One of my eggs internally pipped into a normal looking air cell, early this morning. Now, it looks like there are vessels inside the air cell, and still no external pip. Should I be concerned?

Well I'm going to bed now.
3 pips all eggs from my Bantam Crevecoeur hen.
3 chicken eggs rocking (from an EE, Jungle Fowl and Red Ranger hen).
2 duck eggs rocking (but I didn't count these guys in for the HAL because they were SUPPOSED to be due this past Sunday!)

I'd be worried but it's best to wait at least 24 hours

Hey guys do the my pet chicken no crow collar work because I live in a suburban area and really really want to keep one of the roosters that I hatch and I can't have him waking everyone up

my homemade one really made a huge difference in volume, but it takes some finagling to get it just right.
Will take video of him and post link for you tomorrow.

I found that it didn't really work on my rooster. It just made him sound like he had a sore throat. I plan on retrying though on a different rooster.

they don't stop the crow altogether, but reduce volume. Maybe it wasn't adjusted quite right?

Wow day 18 came too fast!

I can't even try to help at this point. There are vessels all over the place, even up in the air cell where they shouldn't be.

Weird. Can you get pictures? I hope chickie is okay.

Out of 41 eggs set, only 17 made it to lockdown & I'm not sure that all of those are good. The good news is that as I was moving them out of the turner I heard chirping!
