I set mine on 4/24. I will do the first candle on saturday am.
I have;
6 guinea
10 mottled bantam cochins
and
6 bantam welsummer
praying they are looking good I finally got my bator to sit at right humidity. Was having a little difficulty. But fingers crossed!! I usually let me little broody bantams set but it finally got nice out here and want them to be able to run!!

I'm going the old-fashioned route. I finally have a broody hen. She started seriously sitting yesterday, 4/31. I'm so eggcited!
I gave her 13 eggs.
3 are lavender Americauna (hen and rooster)
some are Red Sex Link (hen) and Americauna roo
some are Buff Orpington (hen) and Americauna roo
1 is Black Orpington (hen) and Americauna roo

I'm expecting all but 3 to be Easter eggers since they are mixed with the Americauna roo.
Good luck, all! I think I will candle on day 6 (5/5) and day 12 (5/11).

I just got finished with my second hatch on 4/29 (sadly a rather poor hatch due to my fault on waiting too long), but I'm so excited for all of you!
Baby chicks are the most precious walking cotton balls~

Day 1 for my eggs was May 3rd.

There are 18 Olive Eggers, 11 Black Ameraucanas, 4 Blue/Black Ameraucanas, 3 Black Copper Marans, and 7 Bantam Easter Eggers. It's a very blue incubator.

There are also 5 eggs under a broody hen - due to hatch next week, and 11 chicks that will hopefully be out from under the heat lamp before these hatch.

Edit: Added 4 eggs that were laid today. 2 BCM, 1 Black Am, 1 Olive Egger.
