Already Pm's this to Ron,

But to be clear, my eggs I numbered when I was unpacking/letting them rest and between the
dogs, the cats, the DH & the phone lets just say the numbers I wrote on them in pencil were a little off.

So I mostly fixed that when I set, except I skipped # 37, so here I wrote the # they say, which less #37 = 49 eggs set, really.
& Ya'll thought you had chicken math down pat didn't you ;P


Perhaps my new nickname is #37...or maybe that just means I get to set 37 more eggs later on...

Taking advantage of all of you hatching out thousands of fluff balls, if you're located in western maine or eastern nh and you want to sell some chicks, let me know ;-)

I'm near Keene, NH and will have EE & OE chicks!

I am setting 13 quail eggs. I broke 2 today. and 13 OE eggs on the 13th of Dec 2013. I finally got my incubator adjusted so it was not spiking wildly.

If you need a photo I will have to get it to you in the wee hours of the morning because I am hatching on the sly.

26 right? The picture is for the hatch rate prize.

I set the following eggs on 12/11 at 12:00pm:

12 - Leghorn/Polish Mix
15 - Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons
18 - Amercauna/EE/OE/Maran Mixes

I forgot my 8 Blue Orpingtons!

53 is what I total up for you. Good luck!

Any angle to get more hatching eggs is fine with me!

I am in Pueblo, CO and set a dozen barnyard mixes and 15 Silkies. Still trying to connect with the local egg seller who will sell me a couple of dozen (or so) hatching eggs from his laying flock of mainly Production Reds and a few others - possibly a leghorn or two, and if any of those hatch I may keep them, love leghorns. Anyone else in CO hatching? Think I saw at least one other here.

I just tried and I couldn't see anything in my leghorn eggs. Don't think I see anything till day 5 normaly though.

ChickenCanoe, when you built your hover brooder, how and where did you attach the lights? I am one of those people with a blind spot when it comes to construction (DH is the opposite but I can't run the idea by him until I know exactly what I want ... so maybe he would build it for me ...) so I need to understand what I want the end product to look like and how I want it to function. Are there guards around the bulbs? Are they far from the top or floor?
