I had so much fun hatching my first set. I put 6 eggs in, only 2 hatched but the other 4 weren't even fertilized. I hatch my own mixed breeds, all with cochin daddy's.
Anyone else have a hatch day for Feb 6?
 
Yay!!!

Jan 6th set of 9 eggs
2 Light Brahma/EE
2 pure Light Brahma
are viable and show growth, 5 were infertile
move to hatcher & lockdown tonight


Jan 13th set of 12 eggs

6 Light Brahma/Barred Rocks
2 Pure Light Brahma

I dropped and spattered one BR that was developing... so that would have been 9 doing well
3 were infertile
move to hatcher & lockdown on Jan 31st

================================================================
I have a LG no fan holding at 101F on the wire and 55-60% Humidity
that I am going to use as a hatcher, because I have 8 more eggs in the auto turner in the 1st LG with a fan that aren't due for lockdown until the 31st.

Has anyone read the book "200 eggs per year"?
There is alot of information on incubating & hatching and feeding in it..
 
Me!!

I have 7 buff orps (friends eggs) 3 lavender orps & 6 black orps (both shipped) although my incubator had the plug pulled accidentally overnight & got quite cool, so I may get nothing

I was getting set up for tomorrow's hatch date, when I noticed that I have 5 pips!! I can't wait!! I can hear them chirping away!!
 
I'm down to 5 black & 5 buff orps, the others did not make it to lockdown.

No pips yet, but i see rocking!! Hope they make it!
