    New babies on the first day of spring!

    Happy to report my fears were unfounded. Despite my imperfect incubating, 13 chicks have hatched today! One day before the actual hatching day. Looks like others are pipping too. I would like to thank featherz and happyhensny for their fresh and interesting eggs! Also received some silkies from...

    Doesn't look good.

    I candled the eggs with the kdg. class last week. Almost all fertile. All showed activity. The candler was a QFG cool lite -just bought. There was nothing cool about it. Was very hot. Tried to do it for only a short bit and unplug it inbetween. I'm wondering if they got too hot. This week I see...

    Is there such a thing as overloading an incubator?

    Have a Hovabator Genesis 1588 with the egg turner. It can hold around 40 eggs but I've never put that many in. I looked on the site for information about how many eggs are best to be in an incubator that size. Wouldn't there be an issue with not enough oxygen (even with the plug open?) K........

    I have hatched eggs twice in the kdg. classrooms. First time, the hatch was great 14/17. Was like a mother hen constantly checking temp/humidity etc. Have a hovebater 1588 with automatic egg turner. I had ordered eggs which were shipped from nearby Connecticut. The next year the hatch was...
