Sorry it took so long guys been busy as hell but anyways here are my results after 8 months, I had to keep the roosters separated because they would gang up on one and keep him beat down and away from the feed ended up with 3 separate pins of roosters because of this. The hens where fine and...

Thanks for clearing that up for me Ladycat.

Never been there Loc20chick, I'm close to Myrtle Beach, but I'm glad you are enjoying your stay in SC.

Looks like a chicken snake to me, I have already killed 2 this year 1 was over 6' long and was in the nest box with his lips around one of my eggs, when I grabbed him behind the neck he turned it loose. Never had one attack the chicks yet but I'm sure they will given the opportunity. Do a google...

I have the very same incubator and I am also very happy with it, went into lock down with 36 and hatched 29. this was my first time ever incubating eggs, the only thing I'm going to change is cut some Rectangle holes on each side of the fan and hot glue some Plexiglas over them so i can see inside.

Kool, keep us up to date on them plz.. i would like to know how they do for you.

Hey Taxidermist did you get your chicks in yet, was just wondering how they were doing, and if your were happy with them so far.

Well I ended up with 29 hatched and 7 duds, I'm happy with my first time incubating.

The Sanven 48 Egg Incubator did a pretty good job, I had 8 infertile and 4 early quitters at day 14 when I candled .Went into lock down with 36 and hatched 29 so only had 7 that didn't hatch. not to bad for my first time ever, Only thing i do not like about this incubator is my model does not...
