    "Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

    Update on my eggs! (Day 7 Candle). 17 Buff Orpington out of 21. 2 Cochin Bantam out of 3. 1 Barred Rock Bantam out of 2. The ones I pulled out were clear so maybe they were just infertile! Didn't do an eggtopsy.

    Best incubator for duck eggs?

    If you want an incubator that you can "set and forget" I would go with the 1502 GQF Sportsman Cabinet Incubator! It will hold plenty of eggs and it is digital.

    Good luck with your hatch! What color are your Bantam Cochin's? I have Black and Partridge.

    @jrc85I hope he is. I got him for free and was told he is 2 1\2 years old. Yes my wife and kids sang old red when picking his name. I have a 5 or 6 year old Barred Rock Bantam rooster that still gets the job done!

    Yes I have calibrated and I incubate to much! Haha! I just got this incubator but my last was a Little Giant 9200 and I would always have 100% hatch rates after learning the incubator.

    I hope I can join this Hatch-A-Long even though I set my eggs 5 minutes ago in the incubator! 26 eggs: 21 Buff Orpington, 3 Black Cochin Bantam, 2 Barred Rock Bantam! P.S, when I took this picture the temperature was still coming back up to normal.
