My internet has been down so I wasn't able to check in. I originally put in 30 EE/BO cross, 28 made it to lockdown and 25 hatched! Will try to get a pic up later.

I candled all 30 last night. 25 looked perfect for day 3 (veins starting to develop) 4 had darker shells so I have no idea what's going on and 1 had weird bubbles and no veins but I'll leave it until day 10. It's so exciting.

I'll be candling tonight too. It's my kids' favorite part of incubating!

Quote: My Mail Lady says she has some EEs that lay eggs so green that it's impossible to candle them. Should I get some??? Mine aren't that dark, more like a light turquoise. They are great hens and amazing layers. We had a terrible heat wave here this year and they didn't slow down one...

I've got 30 EE/Buff Orp crosses with probably some purebred EEs and BOs from my girls.

I've collected 25 eggs from my girls. Mostly Buff Orp/EE crosses but there should be a few straight BOs and a few straight EEs. Just waiting for 3:18 to put them in! So excited.

I'm in! The last 2 from my current batch have pipped and I should have enough time to get the incubator cleaned out and collect some eggs from my girls. Yay, more babies!
