Most of mine are laying. Having fun figuring out who's laying what. Lol

So far 15/33 have hatched! Isbar, partridge orps, buff orps, wellsummers, breese, blue/black splash Ameraucanas and some mixes. Super excited about the red partridge! (Second pic) Congrats and good luck to all hatchers and new chick mommies!

Thanks Cynthia! Humidity issue was the same with the LG. I just use a sponge. Works very well :)

Hi folks! I'm setting up a new incubator so might be couple days before I set. Thought I'd share and get opinions/thoughts. It's a Farm Innovators Pro Series 4250 digital incubator with auto turner. It has humidity reading, day count and included a candler. TSC for about $120, on sale. I...

It's a 9300 Little Giant. I added a computer fan which really helped. First hatch was 50%. This time was 93% (25/27). I learned some of its quirks and again, the fan helped.

25/27! Yay!! Assortment of 15 pure ishbars and lavender orps, 10 mixed: brahmas and ishbars. Love the fuzz!

Mine literally took 3 hours from pip to zip to hatch. She wasn't playing around!! No other pips yet but lots are moving.

I got a surprise yesterday. Day 19 and I have a lavender Orpington!

Sounds like detached air cell. Very common in shipped eggs. I recommend setting upright and rotating side to side manually. I did that with some eggs from MPC and had good results. Most of mine were saddle shaped.

I candled this weekend. 13/42 are not viable. 29 is still a great number to me. Glad my lavenders are fairing well and most of the isbars. Go November chicks!! Still in the running: 3/4 ishbar 7/9 ishbar mixes 13/18 lavender orpingtons 6/11 homebrews ;)

Me too! These will be my first lavenders orps!

Yesterday was day 10 for me. 10/42 do not appear fertile. No ooze/smell so I'm eaving in until day 14. Some are amazingly active, some are incredibly hard to see. 3/4 ishbars show life. One had blood ring. 3/9 ishbar mixes appear infertile. 2/18 lavender Orpingtons appear infertile/quitters...

Yes. Liver laced Wyandotte are gorgeous! I bought 2 from MPC on 10/5. They are cute chicks, too! Thank you darkbluespace. And yes, lots of fun stuff here!!

I set 42 eggs on Sunday (10/16); due to hatch on 11/6. They are a mix: Swedish Ishbars, Lavender Orpington and some EEs. I also set 5 garden varieties due to hatch next week (10/28). Rooster is a mixed Light Braham and the hens are golden comets, barred rock and grey brahma bantam. The ones...
