14th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[Mountaintop Homestead]

I may have to be moved to a maybe, my Rooster that I had planned on breeding was taken by a hawk. Calico will be missed. My other Rooster, is older, and I I haven't noticed him mating with the girls since the disappearance of my younger rooster. It's like he's lost his mojo... I will give it a couple weeks of oberservation to know for sure if he'll mate.

The girls who were mating with Calico may still retain his sperm for a full month.

I’m going to try…. Last week I hatched 16 baby chicks and sold them all the next day. Tomorrow I’m going to be putting duck eggs in… so they should hatch the 28th of march. But this afternoon I should be buying another incubator so I’m hoping to set that one to hatch that day.

What day are we supposed to set duck eggs and chicken eggs?

Yup! Still don't know for sure if I'll be hatching any, but at the very least we'll be getting some chicks!
