I set 24 eggs this morning. My first try. I'm so scared I'm going to mess them up. I ran the incubator all night last night and the temp stayed at 100 so I set the eggs this morning. Went to church and when I got home it was reading 110. I nearly had a heart attack. I'm hoping they aren't...

Coop almost complete......my 35 babies are going to LOVE how much room they are about to have.
