Well, it's been 24 hours... is it too soon to candle? Guess I'm a little anxious, lol

I did..I do at 24 hrs. I saw most of them were fertile! Pretty excited, she has pretty silkies.

@cutiekk17 Not sure this is going to tell you anything more than you already know, he doesn't show how to reset anything. :/ But, here it is anyway.

Also, here is that convert, from C to F... I know it says 39.5 is 103..but that's where I kept mine, did great like I said, great hatch! If you feel like your eggs are feeling too warm, then go down to the 38.5.

I am hatching silkies this time. Never have hatched them in the winter..will see how it goes having chicks in the house for a while.. :/ But, they should be really nice.
Hatched these cuties this last spring.


One of my whites, I had just trimmed those eyes, and a SG. Turned out to be a Show Boy!

I have had silkies in the house before. I didn't mind though, they are so sweet and well behaved

Gonna set my eggs a few hours late because my bator usually starts hatching chicks the afternoon of day 20.
Good luck everybody
