How can anyone keep up with you guys on this thread!!

So I did it - turned on the bator and put in some store bought "fertile" eggs from Trader Joe's for a "test hatch".
Not got high hopes for these - they were previously chilled, and then sat at in the basement for 4 days before I got around to turning on the bator.

I have had mixed results with these eggs in the past with from 0-50% hatch rate. The hen that hatched previously was very sweet (but not smart), and was a laying machine.

Finally an incubation post!!!

Chilling isn't necessarily a problem. Cooler temperatures are recommended if eggs will be stored a long time.
What is the Julian date on the Trader Joe's carton?

What is everyone up too

Running electric to coops, insulating water barrels, moving chicks to brooder, rebuilding homemade cabinet.
You know, chicken stuff.

Why you having to rebuild a cabinet unit? What's wrong with it?
