lockdown on quail and chicken eggs today. Next week is the Jersey Giant eggs.

Yes I tend to hatch a bunch. I sell some and others we grow out for meat r more eggs. I have not decided. I may just do some chickens for that one.

I have my brooder running all the time. Usually, I move the ones in the bedroom out to the shop brooders the day before hatch day. Then I clean it and set it up for hatch day. Until I am done hatching for the year the bedroom brooder and the shop brooders are always up and running.

Will post pictures once they are fluffed and dry The ones from last week are starting to get their feathers

6 have hatched so far. 5 more eggs in the incubator waiting. Two I can see are pipped.

I have some of my own chicken eggs in the bator. I also have chicken, quail, turkey and duck eggs that were shipped and look to be doing well. My next date to check eggs is the 22nd so I will see what I get from them.

These are the ones that just hatched

I use two Hovabators for hatching. What I have found is when I go to lockdown I put a flour sack towel on the bottom under the eggs and sticking a corner out and into a container of water. It wicks the moisture into the bator and I can check the bowl once or twice a day
