Hey fellow chicky nerds!!!!
I've always found hatch-alongs super fun and I finally decided, well, I should do one! I am doing a semi-large batch so that a lot of people can contribute! I am not going to be keeping them, if any, maybe 1 or 2. But hey, it will still be fun to name them and see what they look like when they hatch! I like sticking to the pure breeds. My incubator is a Meef incubator, and it holds 30 chicken eggs. I am only going to put in ~15 or 20 though. This is my 1st hatch in the incubator so bear with me!
I am not going to be hatching in about 1-2 more months because I'm going to be getting 2 chicks, so this gives you time to think about some names! The theme is sweets! For instance, Hershey's, Jolly Rancher, cheese cake, chocolate chip cookie, you name it! (literally )

And the best part- there will likely be a very high hatch rate. I have 2 roos and 11 hens. I know, one too many roosters, but one of my roosters barely mates so it doesn't really count.
All my eggs are the same shade of brown. I know, kinda boring but I guess they will be all be mystery eggs! I will list all the breeds that I have that the chicks could be possible mixes of.
2 sapphire gems (1 roo 1 hen)
2 white plymouth rocks (hens)
1 black sexlink (hen)
1 black australorp (hen)
1 easter egger (hen)
1 light brahma (hen)
1 olive egger (roo)
And a few mixed breeds that I'm not going to be breeding.
The last time I hatched I had mostly sapphire gem mixes, which were all so adorable! I also had a few brahma mixes though. I will attach some pics to give you a good idea of what they might look like.
I can't wait to hatch and see what names you guys come up with! I will try to update what names and eggs are already taken. If all the eggs are taken you can still root for an egg!
