Glad it went better this go round Familyman. Your babies are cute! The BO's are really pretty with that golden honey color. What color eggs do they have? My next set of eggs comes next week. I have 4 roosters for sure (maybe 5) out of 6 chicks!

Congratulations familyman! How many do you have so far?? Do you have other pips? Stampntam: Yes those are Black Copper Marans eggs. They are doing terribly. It's my first hatch and if my Barred Rocks hadn't done well, I would really be upset. One pipped yesterday and couldn't get out of...

I have a chick! One of my Barred Rocks. S/He pipped during breakfast, about 6:30 and has been chirping all day. He finally zipped and hatched at about 3pm. So cute. Wreaking havoc with all the other eggs.

I calibrated mine just as kelsey describes and it seems to work. I have 2 hygrometers and initially they seemed to have matching readings when I calibrated but then when I put my eggs in the incubator the readings really were divergent. I recalibrated and sure enough, one was -2% and the other...

I am on day #2. If you put yours in today then we can be hatching buddies. My hatch day should be June 16 if my eggs have been reading their instruction manual! I have 11 Black Copper Marans and 8 Barred Rocks. All shipped eggs. And to make it more interesting, this is my first attempt at...
