42 eggs in the bator! Day one!!!

[gumpsgirl]

My Genesis 1588 bator came yesterday. I set it up and let it regulate over night. Earlier this afternoon, I put 42 eggs in the bator and now have the long wait ahead of me. I have 24 Delaware eggs, 15 Blue Orpington eggs, 2 Serema eggs, and 1 EE egg in the bator!

Wish me luck on my first ever hatch!!!

I forgot to add that the temp is holding steady and 100 degrees and the humidity level is steady at 51%.

LOL! I am actually going to be home for most of that day. I will probably go crazy! I guess I will have to plan something to do. My kids keep me busy, so that will help.
