I see this post whats up? @Leave a LightOn

Thank you for answering my thermostat question. My second post was just to let you know I would be gone, didn't know when my first post would appear, and didn't want you to think I was ignoring anyone's responses. Is there anything special I should do for blue eggs? Nothing's hatched here except under broody hens.

I think the thermometer is wrong.

So.. I candled the eggs in the LG again, I've been feeling sick about it ever since that thermometer read 105. YES there are a few with bloodlines, many seem like they were clears or never started but there are actually quite a few that have little dancing baby chickens inside!!! I am so excited!

Broody hens take all the fun out of hatching chicks!  Welcome back, Mike... welcome back!!!   

Except I love it when all the eggs hatch, which they often do under a broody.

One of the 3 broodys i was just complaining about got up tonight to roost with everybody else. I have been taking eggs out from under her at night, but there were still 30 eggs in the nest. I wouldnt have wanted to sit on that either. I left the 7 i wanted her to have in and stuck her back on the nest. She was too asleep to complain. Hope she sticks. She had been sitting for 3 days.

Hatched my first batch of eggs this week. I set 12 Ameraucana that I had shipped in from N.H. and 6 from my mixed flock. So far I have 10 out of the 18 that have hatched.
Which as a first timer I think is doing o.k.
