We did mutts last month and I'm amazed at the beautiful colors and it is fun not knowing what you'll get.
Gina,
I using a hovabator 1588 w/ turner. Just loved my first hatching experience with it. Going to try to do everything the same this time around.

Thanks Carolyn, I just bought one of those. I have the cheapo Hovabator with the thermo discs and am not happy with it at all. I also bought a LG with the auto set thermo too and haven't received either one yet but am anxious to try them.
I also have a home build styro bator that works pretty well.

Morning, fellow BYC hatchaholics!

I've got a batch in my bator gently steaming...hatch will be 3/21 and 3/22. Blue/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas (from Peachick on here) on the 21st, along with some of my own that should lay dark olive colored eggs - I'm not sure they're fertile, as my Marans roo has some frostbite damage, but here's hoping. I checked a few times before, putting the eggs in - some were fertilized, some not. On 3/22, I've got silver penciled rocks (from ugly ducky on here) hatching.

I'm using a Brinsea Octagon 20. Love it so far! GOOD HATCHING VIBES to all!

How many eggs will the Brinsea hold?

sounds like im doing the same thing you are. i cant wait to see if our hatches work out. i sure hope so!

I thought you still had to turn them each day up until day 18----- the holes in the egg crate allow the egg to get 99.5 degrees Teresa

We tilt the whole carton.

Hi Teresa,
You'll have better luck looking for eggs in this part of the forum
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=36
That's where folks post eggs for sale or you can post that you want some, too.
Good luck!

I have a homemade cabinet bator. It has three sets of shelves that turn on a hinge. I have the eggs is cartons and just shift the shelves. I have been trying to candle but can't really understand what I am seeing. I did have one white egg w/air bubbles in it. Does that mean it is no good? What am I to be looking for? I am only on day 4 but on some of the other posts you can see veins at day 3. HELP!!!!
