I am currently hatching 36/36 eggs. All are still swimming. Still at 100% hatch rate. The leghorns are the white one's in the pic. Except there is also a brown leghorn in the mix so I am not sure how many of hers are in there. I only have two white leghorns. Then the one brown leghorn.

No these are all my mutt eggs. The brown eggs are from Golden Star/Redstar/Production red hens. The white as I said earlier are from my brown and white leghorns.

I think most people buy their eggs from Trader Joes.

I remember someone on here mentioned very recently that some stores are even starting to sell green fertile eggs.

OMG I am so going to Trader Joes!!! I've been in there once...it's about 40 minutes from my house...looks like I'm going to have to make another trip!!! That's going to be my next hatch...Trader Joe eggs...since I have to wait until my new roos start mounting the girls...which won't happen any time before these ones hatch, since they're in quarantine.

Sooo...let's see here...this batch will be BR and BR X with Commerical Blacks (which is hatchery BR cross)...my next batch will be mystery chicks from Trader Joes, hopefully some from green eggs...and the batch after that is going to be BR and CB crossed with my new roos, which are Choc. Orp. and EE....

Oh boy, I need a bigger coop.

What things have you guys done that was a "NO NO" in the past during your hatches? How did you fix it?

One of mine was that I kept opening the incubator during hatch day to look for new pips. I ended up with shrink wrapped chicks afterwards. My fix is to put the eggs in egg cartons so that I don't have to open the bator to see if any has pipped. I think this may work. My last hatch some of the pips were on the bottom side of the egg so I couldn't see if they had pipped. The real fix would be to leave it for a couple days and never even go into the room they are in. Or better yet duct tape my hands together.
