    First timer - starting my first batch Sept 15

    Unfortunately my son said no progress today really. Out of 10 that had hatched as of yesterday, 5 were moved to their "brooder", 2 were left in the incubator for now as they were later and seemed wet and wobbly. Other 3 evidently had died (one early one, other 2 today). No more of the other...

    Checked this morning before I left and there were 7, so 3 more got out overnight - one didn't look very good, but maybe it had just gotten out and was exhausted.

So he had...

    Sept. 16 Placed approx. 40 eggs in an used Little Giant Incubator with turner, but no fan. I have far more chickens than I probably need who are producing more eggs currently than we use personally. I'm sure some of that will drop off as the days continue to get shorter and the weather gets...
