We set ours yesterday to hatch January 4th. I am so excited! We haven't done any hatches in several months, and we are only going to do 2 hatches in 2012 so this will be the first of the two. We had pretty successful hatches in 2011, but we got a lot more than 50% roos this year. I don't want to have to go through that again next year, so we are going to keep our hatches a little smaller.

I have 16 eggs in the Reptipro 5000. Couple of Jersey giants, a few blue/black/splash orps, couple of buff orps, a barred rock, a wellie, a marans egg of some kind, 2 EEs, and 4 of my silkie girl's eggs (she has been mated by both our silkie roo and a white faced black Spanish roo, so we're not sure what's going to hatch from her eggs).

Are these your own eggs? EEs or some of my favorites - Ameraucanas in particular! I call them cheeksters

Day 20 today. Came home 5:00 pm EST and four have pipped. Now have six of 16 pipped two hours later.

Only concern is wet bulb reads 99 which at 99.5 F puts humidity at high 80's into 90's I would think I'd have major fogging at these levels so I tend to think not. I can only hope that the wet bulb wick is twisted and clogged (as it appears), and therefore highly inaccurate and true humidity is closer to the digital reading. Digital (uncalibrated), shows 40 relative.

Too late to do anything so, time will tell.

Perfect breeds for the job!!!

I had a silkie zip yesterday and it had about 2 more pecks before it released itself. Somehow it turned around in the shell and smothered
