Good morning, everyone! It's Good Friday (every Friday is good)!!!

It's only day 2, but I'm ready for some eggs to hatch!!

This morning is day 6.5 for the 24 EE/OE eggs and 12 royal palm turkey eggs I set so I went ahead and candled to see what's going on. The EE eggs were shipped and arrived with nearly destroyed air cells again (most roll freely around the egg) but at least 11 of them are currently developing. That's exactly how many started to develop out of the last 24 I was shipped and only 2 were able to hatch, so I guess we'll just have to see how it goes. BUT 11 of my 12 turkey eggs are developing! This is my first time incubating turkey eggs and my first time incubating eggs that were laid on my property and not ordered online, so I'm super excited to get some poults!

Thanks! I am hatching a surprise mix. The breeder stated the eggs came from their "silkies, showgirls and sizzles pen". So honestly I have no idea what will actually hatch! LOL

Sounds like it'll be a fun time.

Everyone Have a Great Day!

Exactly what I had planned! You have one too.

You should end up with Shizlekies...

Yea but at least she took pics of it.

I just sent you a mental image. It's just as good, but my image is much nicer...

I believe she taped pipe insulation to the end...

That may have been a different one, but I'll cobble something together. It won't likely get here until after this batch is locked down anyway.

Indeed it was

Should work fine as-is for viewing the new chickies... then you can modify it for the next batch. There's always going to be a "next batch".
