I just ordered Silver & Golden Sebrights to add to the incubator too barnie.gifWe have one pair of Golden now & I really want to add more.  My daughter's at camp & is going to be so excited when she finds out about these.

 

If my Silkie eggs come in time, then the bator will be full!

I bought mine at the feed store. It is a little giant's still air incubator and I bought an egg turner to go in it. It is made of styrofoam, but the lady at the feed store says that is what she uses.

These will be silkes. I have four ducks, my Cayuga was broody last month, but a snake got a couple eggs and then she stopped setting. Now both my females have stopped laying. If they start up again, I might throw them in to hatch too.

I received my eggs yesterday, and placed them in the incubator last night.  The countdown is on...
