Hi Beer can...

Seriously hoping I get a good hatch. Waiting on just the turkeys to lay.

Incubator will be going until June/July. It is shut down until September and runs until December. Then it is usually shit down till Feb/March.

Well, I'm happy to send an encouraging report.. despite being one day early.. I got 100% fertility and hatch.. on this weeks round!

I NEED to hatch at least 40 chicks per breed/variety to come even close to meeting my goal of continually improving/replacing breeding stock.

I do the opposite timing wise.. I start the incubator up around Oct/Nov and shut it down around May.

I thought I would be slowing my roll with this Easter hatch.. but I collected a Cemani egg yesterday.. out of the 15 that hatched last night, only 3 were Cemani. I'm waiting for the Svart Hona to start laying.. which just helped me figure out I better hatch ALL the Cemani I can and start with the Svart Hona starting in the fall!

I set 32 eggs on 3/13. However, 12 are bantam and I’m not sure they’re even fertile. The white yolk spot was questionable so I threw them in the incubator just to see.

I set six Ohiki eggs in the incubator this past Saturday

You will know if they are fertile soon!
