Be sure to give her eggs that you don't care if you lose. She may indeed be broody, but from what you describe, she may just be hiding in the nestbox to get away from the boys. :/

I plan on it. I'm giving her some mixed ameraucana eggs and one of her own. She's been threatening to go broody off and on for a while but this is the first time she's stayed in it at night. Her belly is all warm and sweaty lol. Well see what happens

I set my HAL eggs yesterday at 2:30. 6 Serama eggs from my birds. But then I added another one in there today. The eggs I'm having shipped are not here yet, so they may miss being in the HAL.

I hope they make it!

Going great so far. I even candled an egg for fun and saw the darkening spot of the little embryo growing.

No luck locating my eggs.

After 2 1/2 hours, I got a call back from usps. Basically they could not tell me exactly where they were so I could go get them. She could not give me any more info than I could see myself on the tracking website. She said Priority Mail 2 day or 3 day is not "guaranteed" (only expedited next day is guaranteed, apparently) and that they don't scan it at each point. So basically they had no answer other than "sorry for the inconvenience"

and it looks like my eggs will be delivered Monday.
3 days late.

So sorry, it's crazy for shipping this time of yr. for anything. I was supposed to receive a package from Walmart by the 10th. Not here yet. Received an e-mail with them asking to rate their product. I'll give them until Monday too. Once package did get here, tracking says delivered, at least the one that hasn't come, doesn't say..delivered.

When were yours due? Good grief. What's up with this? Glad you have some for the HAL. And just think, yet another has added another.

Put the eggs in yesterday! 14 in all, 5 are ours, and the other nine are from a friend. My friend doesn't have any of the same breeds I do, so I'm gonna have a crazy selection of chicks if I have a good hatch. This is my first time using the IncuView from Incubator Warehouse. Wish me luck!

I will def be watching to see how this bator works out for you. I am now quite curious

Here is her post Cynthia, I'm interested in this hatch myself

I wonder if it holds temp well ?? edit: opps I see you see this too haha. Inc warehouse I'm lookin it up now

I love the view on your IncuView! I will also watching to see how you like it because I bought this plastic container



to make into another incubator for the same reasons; I want to see wants going on and I'd have a lot more room for a lot more eggs.

I just haven't gotten around to building it yet. I was also thinking graduating to a plug and play digital unit that could switch between this and the bathroom vanity I was considering on converting to incubator status. (BUT I'm getting ahead of myself, so I'll just worry about this hatch.)

Is it considered an obsession if I am hatching chicks at the same time I am putting more in for the hatch-along? My husband says ok honey 200 chickens is our limit. He likes teasing me about my fuzzy babies.

Now that's just totally awesome!! Love it!! (I may just have to use this mahself)

I'm a lucky one I guess. My DH doesn't mind anymore. Maybe, a little. He just waits for the next, I have some eggs due in a few weeks. But then, when I start getting busy in that room, he will ask, any pips yet?
