I did, its one of the 3 we have, albeit the best looking (if I don't say so myself). If you are interested I kinda detailed the design and build here, Thanks a ton for the compliments! We're reaching capacity in the bator, just a few more to go, think I'm gonna have to crack it open and make a...

We have a little bit of room..

I set all 41 on the same day, so they are all hatching at once. I really appreciate the reply thank you!

We are hatching away! I lost count (they wont sit still long enough :P), at 8:00 we are officially on day 21. With the humidity spikes from all our recent hatches can I anticipate any problems? This is my largest hatch, in the past I have had at least enough of a dry out between to not be...

Checked the bator right before bed, we have our 1st (2) pips! Cant wait to see what we wake up to.

Day 19, just candled last night before lockdown. 39 viable out of 41 set (one early quiter and one ring of blood). I guess I got a couple of spunky roo's lol.. Cant wait for that first pip, been checking every couple of hours (from the windows of coarse).. Got the brooder cleaned out and the...

Yep, this would be my first hatch along, thanks for the warm welcome. Just hatched my first set of the year last week. It was just six but it was a good warm up.. Super excited to see how this next one goes, I think I have everything just right this time.

Just candled 41 eggs on day 5 (should be close to the 1st day of march) all but one (questionable egg) look good! I set 5 cornish x buff orp and the remaining buff orp x leghorn. My cornish eggs seem to be hatching early, so I might have a post for both the Feb thread and the march thread..

Yep, and the smaller are either leghorn x buff orp, or something called wr136 (some hybrid the Huterites sold me for a quarter a piece)..

Yeah its out, and just as was suspected.. not hatching debris.. Glad that is over with, and my pip that was right next to it is hatching out now.. Looking strong.. Now if the questionable's will hatch I'm in good shape!! I guess even if they don't, I'm still in good shape. We only had the 2...

Maybe you have one of those bators that instinctively makes up for lost time (and heat) from the previous day? lol. Well Im up to 5 chooks now. I see one of my eggs is oozing maple syrup I have one pip that hasnt progressed since last night. and the questionable eggs havent had much if any...

I worry about that.. We get pretty hefty winds out here in the plains, and I dont have a generator yet.. I have piglets and of coarse the incubator running, both wouldnt last long in our harsh winters.. Glad to hear your hubby got it up and running!! How long did you go without power? We are up...

Thanks a ton! We have 2 walking now and the 3rd is about to make his way out.. 3 other eggs pip'd we had 3 questionables during our last candle (day 18) so we marked them and put them off to one side, they are rockin and a rollin!! My first guy was 18 hours old by the time the second hatched...

Hey you never know, it could only be 15!! lol, Oh and Thanks you!! 4 pips now!!

Quite vocal little chook, hes got the whole crew rollin around and I can hear little muffled chirps all over the place.. Pretty awesome

It happened!! lol

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. I have 2 more pips as well !! He's a good hatching coach..

I know I didn't miscount my days, and alas, we have cornish x Buff Orp walking around in the bator stirring up all kinds of action with the other eggs.. My question is, will my 1st chook be ok for a couple days in there or do I need to break the "lockdown" seal to get him in the brooder in a day...

No you should be able to find codex food grade DE at tractor supply..
