16th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[Aundra101]

On the second post it list the other threads for the guesses. One for eggs set and one for eggs hatched.

I see all the posts,but do I reply to each thread? Cause Everytime I click on any of those contest ads some say not accepting anymore replies and some only have that option. Seems like I'm just clicking on the same thing over and over and the only option I have is to reply to the threads? Is how we guess or vote? Just hit reply?

How many set is open! I'm guessing the how many hatched isn't because we haven't gotten to that point yet or there's a mistake regarding the thread.

I just put 9 into lock down! I started with 12. The one blue egg was lost because I found a chip in it. I thought about trying the candle wax trick but everything I've read says it works on cracks, and this wasn't a crack. There was a small chunk missing (see pic). I was super sad bc it was the only blue one!
One of the other eggs was a dud, and another one quit about halfway through.
Not bad for my first purchased eggs!
Praying these 9 have a safe hatch!

Anyone have problems candling extraLg eggs? I set a bunch from one hen whose eggs are almost never fertile, she's picky about her Roos. I've got faint veining or spots in a bunch of eggs. But it's not anywhere near as obvious in a medium sized egg. So I am leaving them in, but It's really hard to tell.

I only have issues with blue, green or dark brown eggs.

They might make it. As long as you saw vaining they could make it.

Candled my eggs over the weekend and about half of my blue eggs weren't developing at all.
