Haha anyone else finding it difficult to find out which of their hens laid which eggs?Look at all those question marks..View attachment 2564925

Yes, drives me crazy when they start laying at the same time. I want to know.

I set some NN'S last night, will set these others tonight. Glad they came so close together.

Noooo not hard boiled again. Good thing you’re getting a trial run in.

The roaster is the styrofoam one. It’s on now.

Check this out. First time I have ordered eggs all the way from Florida. Wow! The packing. I had read remarkable comments on their packing, so took a chance from that far..I want some NN'S! There were newspaper too... underneath the big brown egg carton. One egg had a crack..weak shell when I opened it to check fertility..only reason it was cracked. Big ol bullseye!

@Cynthia12 It will be nice to spend the next few weeks with you.

The Saturday before Easter is the day that they should hatch but a week before and after is fine.
Set the eggs to hatch in that time frame that works best for you.
Happy hatching!

I candled what was in my Brinsea last night and pulled six clears.... So I'm back in as I have room now. I have another lockdown so more eggs will be removed to the hatcher on the 18th creating even more egg capacity.
Which should I do for the set, the 13th or the 18th?

(yeah, yeah..."Set all the eggs!")

I have 7/12 fertilized and one undecided so fingers crossed mine will hatch.

Sounds like you need to set more eggs!
