setting eggs tonight!! anyone else? - Page 4

Welcome Cayuse & Cowchick!   

Cowchick whats the story on that sneaky hen and unauthorized chicks?

Just found this thread!  I set 37 EE/EO eggs (covered by a pure Ameraucana roo from Pips & Peeps) after I got off work - 12:30a Sunday morning.  They are from Charm1704 here on BYC.  I have a still air Hovabator with a turner.  Last year I hand turned & I'm relaxin' a lot more now but miss touching the little "treasure chests".  The eggs are GORGEOUS & I'm really excited to see if my hatch rate is better with the turner.  I'm not as worried about consistent humidity/temp.  But I'm still checkin' that sucker everytime I walk by & making my BF look when I'm working!!

Here they are "resting"  from their trip.

Those eggs are beautiful!

Thanks goes out to Charm1704!  The eggs are darker "in person".  And I'm crossing my fingers to get some really blue eggs from these hens.....I'm so hoping to get a good hen/roo ratio!     

I'll be back with updates (& poss pics) when I candle at Day14 (if I can keep my hands off them that long!).

I am green with envy. 

I have seven or so EE eggs in mine but they aren't pure bred. I'm interested to see how they will turn out.

I just KNOW most of them will be too dark to see into!!!  One is pretty light so that one is going to be the guinea pig egg!   ha ha guinea pig egg 
I may have to get that one out in a couple days...

Patience is one of my strongest virtues, what can I say...

 

Judge you?! HaHa  My kids had a flashlight taped up and begged to candle on Day One!! We tried candling a couple eggs today, but didn't see anything. Since we're new to this I don't want to toss any...just in case.

You 2 are bad influences!!  Now I want to candle an egg!!!  I swore I wouldn't!

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow....I'm never going to be able to resist now!
