7 have hatched so far and another is pipped. Still waiting on 2. Have 4 others that are due on Thursday. I'm at 80% for shipped eggs so I'm pretty excited about that.

First one hatched and 3 more have pipped.

One pip, one zip!

I got lucky with last year's Thanksgiving HAL. I bought an assortment of eggs that included 3 bielefelders. I ended up with 2 hens and a roo, perfect for their own breeding tractor. This year I'll have some large breeds in the bator. Bielefelders, Cochins and Dark Brahmas as well as mutts. I...

I'm in. Hopefully it ends up better than the 0 for 23 or so I had last year. Setting bielefelders and backyard mixes.

I'm thinking diamond earrings. She mentioned the other day that she missed the pair that were stolen during a break in when we were first married.

I received my prize today. I opened the box and the bad was promptly confiscated by my daughter. She wants to use it for her lunch box. Lol thanks again to Ron and all who donated the prizes. I'll try again for the Easter HAL. Hopefully with better results.

Haha Love it! My wife is getting an AWESOME anniversary gift this year! Thanks to all, especially Ron for putting this thing on again this year. I just wish my eggs would have cooperated. I'll try again for Easter.

I'm not trying to jump back in but I set three more Cayuga eggs this afternoon. My wife cracked a duck egg yesterday to cook with and it was fertile. We'll see next week if we have a Christmas miracle.

I didn't set the wyandottes. I literally set all my duck eggs in one basket.

Well I'm out. ALL of my Cayuga eggs were clear. Guess I'm gonna to have to have the ducks and the bees talk with my boy. Hopefully he will figure it out in time for Easter. I should have set some of my friend's silver laced wyandottes as back ups.

Yes, they are from my pair that I hatched from Metzer eggs. Had fertility issues last month when I tried to hatch for the Thanksgiving HAL but I checked on Monday and the egg was fertile. I should set them tomorrow, correct?

I'm in with some Cayuga duck eggs. Hopefully my drake got his Mojo back.

The last egg hatched while I was at work so I gave the chick to her. She now had her 3 babies and 15 fosters. It's funny watching them all jockey for the best positions under her. I set up a wireless security camera I had sitting in a box and now I can watch them on my phone or computer from...

I got this idea from reading @S5apiotrowski's thread and I didn't want to hijack. I set eggs in my igloobator for a Thanksgiving day hatch. The Sunday after I set the eggs I had a Silkie/Ameraucana cross go broody so I gave her 6 Cayuga duck eggs and put the 3 chicken eggs she was sitting on...
