So, I've been waiting for another member's crevecoeurs to start laying so I can buy some eggs to hatch and I got a bit tired of waiting. Besides, I have two boys growing up without mates so I took a bunch of Serama eggs from the pile I was letting grow to see if one of the girls would get broody and at the same time, I upgraded my home made 'bater with a new temperature controller. Anyway, Luna acted like she was going broody, but the moment she got off the eggs, Hermione took over. I took a bunch of the eggs and stuck them in the incubator and left Hermione with 5 to hatch.. I just counted the eggs, and I have 14 in the 'bator plus Hermione's 5, that's 19 eggs! And all but one are showing veins! (it's early yet, the one may still develop). I really only want 6 puulets, though, hope they don't all hatch!
. I have my own Serama eggs in the incubator. They will be my first chicks hatched from my own birds 
Hello everybody, just catching up on the thread. I'm so, so sorry to hear about Stormy. That just breaks my heart.
A little over an hour ago my eggs were put into lockdown. Nine eggs out of sixteen have made it this far and are looking great! It feels like I had a lot of quitters, but this IS my first ever hatch, so I'm trying not to beat myself up too much over it. These guys are due on Wednesday. I've been so nervous that my stomach is just twisting its self into knots...
