    Setting eggs 03/19/2011, anyone else?

    KZ- I ordered my eggs off of eBay as well. I haven't had much luck in the past with hatching shipped eggs as my post office usually does a number on them. These eggs arrived all intact.

    Thanks for the help! I have to agree after looking at pictures of the breed, they sure do look like Lakenvelder chicks.

    Any idea what breed these guys are?

    My first silkie!

    I just hatched my first silkie. I purchased 8 eggs and this little guy was the only one to hatch. The post office did quite a number on my shipment. I hatched out several of my own EE eggs, so my silkie has buddies.

    How many people were successful on their first try?

    I just finished my first hatch at the beginning of the week. I used a brinsea octagon eco and had 15/16 hatch. After reading so many stories of hatches gone wrong, I consider myself very lucky for having so many hatch on my first try. Forgot to add that they were eggs from my own birds.

    DE cant find any help

    I work for a business that distributes food grade DE (perma-guard). We have it starting at $3.80 for a 3qt bag up to $22.05 for 50lb bag. If you are interested in having some shipped, send me your zip code and I will find out what it would cost. It would be shipping from TX.

    Setting eggs tonight 5/4, anyone else?

    I finished out my 1st hatch with 15/16. Disinfected the incubator and loaded it back up with 27 of my own EE eggs. Anyone else set eggs today? I would love to compare progress.

    Between 6am and 10:30am five little chicks popped out of their shells. I am waiting on 11 more and I see external pips on at least 9 of them. Picture quality is terrible from my cell phone...taken in my closet. Edited to add some dry and fluffy pics.

    When should I hear peeping?

    I know how you feel marymac, I can take my eyes off the incubator. I have been able to manage keeping my hands off it. I keep thinking I am seeing a few eggs wiggle, but then I am not sure it isn't my eyes just playing tricks on me
