Thanks so much

Shoot, I went ahead and candled the 6th egg.. and tapped it, and listened.. no movement, no sound.. and got nervous about exploding eggs... so I just chucked it..

Now thinking.. what if... what if.. it was fine!!!! since I am a newbie

that could have been a 6/6 hatch rate.. eh????

What kind of incubator do you have? Glad you had a good hatch, that is great.

I had eggs shipped last time / from another breeder.. and incubated 10/ over stuffed my (Brisnea mini advance)
and 7 of those hatched.. they were also shipped eggs, in freezing cold weather

I let my eggs sit up, for 24 hours.. and then lay them down in my incubator..
I have my incubator set and running before I add the eggs

and do nothing.. LOL

okay time before last time, opened up incubator to help an egg having trouble

I am a total newbie,
My first hatch was December 22, 2010
and then Last night

LOVE THE BRINSEA MINI ADVANCE!!!!!

AND YES, I just placed another order, my dh is going to kill me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO
if I never post again, you all may need to call the police..hehehe
another order.. of bantam TRUE~amerecauna eggs

Lets see how they do
If all goes well... man, no doubt the brisnea is the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
