This will be my first attempt to incubate eggs. I decided to provide a photo blog here of the attempt. I just got the eggs in by mail from Backwoods Poultry Farm. Buddy was very nice and sent three Wyandottes as a favor with no guarantees do to the flock's eggs not being tested with two new roosters.
Here is what we have so far.
Box in a box
Final box open
Eggs were individually wrapped in bubble wrap. Here is a shot after they have all been taken out.
I have them up in a closet for the next 24 hrs before setting in the incubator. The eggs are small end down.
Do I need to turn them during the next 24hr? They are kind of almost straight up and down in an egg carton as shown.
I am only keeping hens from this hatch and I will be keeping only 4 or so if I get them. The rest of them I need to find homes for. If anybody lives in Florida and is interested in the extra's, let me know and follow along on this thread for updates......
