Yep I have an old LG with 36 barnyard mix eggs cooking....due next weekend. Trying to hatch them for my neighbor (he didn't have any luck hatching on his own). Have been having a bear of a time keeping the temp right on this incubator, so may not have any luck at all. We will soon see. YAY glad we are still going here. Come on everybody join us !!!

guh!
I think I have worn a hole in the floor walking to the incubator and back!

Love your avatar.  I have 6 out of 10 hatched so far (4 cochins and 2 of wholewheatchickens silkies). All doing well and probably getting a little hungry by now. If no pips when I get home from work tonight I am moving them to the brooder cage so they can eat. Hope everyone else's babies are zipping around healthy and happy.

  Don't know if you said or not but what kind of incubator are you using ?  I love hearing what everyone's preferences are and what secrets you can share on successful hatches. Hope you see some action soon

Most of mine pipped but didn't do ANYTHING ELSE for 10-12 hours after that. UGH !!  Hope yours don't wait that long. I want to see pictures.  Keep us posted

By your numbers you can hardly be called a first timer. and unless some act of God strikes. I can just about gar-un-tee great results.
I get much better hatch rates by not running the humidity so high. when I kept it in the 50% range too many drown in the shells trying to pip out.

I'm so excited but going to wait til day 10 to candle. I hope I have some luck. Thanks all for being here :)

I have an old hova-bator circulated air model 2362N it's got an automatic egg turner in it.
This is my very first attempt ever at using this incubator and hatching in general!
With no action yet on day 21.
