2017 Groundhog Day Hatch-a-long!

[jessnurse05]

Hello! I've hatched 2 babies already this month, a buff Orpington and a silver penciled rock. I'm curious to see how this little brown baby will turn silver.

I also have 2 Swedish flower eggs in the incubator. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them, but I had issues with the incubator temp fluctuating more than 1 degree and it tended to go too low. I had them in a hovabator with a fan, but I moved them to my brinsea once the others hatched. They are in lockdown now.

good Luck!!!

Has anybody here bought hatching eggs from ebay? They have great low prices and I was very interested and just curious (and getting addicted!)

I have bought turkey and chicken eggs in the past. Best hatch was 8 of a dozen turkey. But 12 out of 5 dozen turkey. 3 chicks out 3 dozen chicken eggs.

A couple batches didn't seem fertile no development.

This year I got 150 bobwhite quail eggs hatched 60.

My luck with shipped eggs isn't the best. Shipped eggs can be rough.

But if it's a breed you want and can't source locally I'd say go for it.

Did you decide on an incubator yet?
