Anyone Hatching on the 27th or 28th? - I Need Hatching Buddies!!

I think we're due on the 28th - this is my first time and I haven't figured out exactly how counting the days works. If I put the eggs under my broody on Thursday night, May 7th, does that mean they are due Thursday, May 28th?

We started with 10 eggs and due to our dog stealing a few and then losing a few due to the hen accidently cracking them, we're down to 3. They're all growing the way they should and hopefully, we've solved the problems and won't lose anymore.

My barnevelder, Lacy, is sitting on a welsummer, an EE, & a B/B/S orp egg. My 2nd barnevelder, Penny, has also gone broody and I set eggs under her tonight, so the 3 little chicks (if they make it) will have plenty of company.
 
I was mistaken, I have eggs due the 26th, but I have a pip!!! Oh no I hope I don't have premmie ducks!!!

I have 9 cochin banties and 2 big mystery chicks due 28th or 29th.

I started out with 20 banties- but apparently NONE of the brahma eggs are fertile. At least I know not to waste time with them anymore! Next time will be all cochins- I love their little pantaloons!

I still haven't figured out how to post picts on here. No matter what I do- it says my files are too big. Have to figure it out before hatch day.

This is how it was explained to me:
If you set them after noon (12:00pm) then you don't count that day, you start counting the next day as day 1. If you set them before noon, then that is day 1. Does that make sense? So, then they would be due on Thursday, May 28th. WooHoo! How EGG-citing!

Are you able to resize your pictures? Do you have a photobucket account? That is what I use to upload my pictures. It works great. Let me know if I can help.
 
I have 20 mixture of different breeds including some mutts due the 26th. Then I have 17 quail due the 28th. Then another 12 that are a mixture of breeds includnig bantam due June 5th. Then 7 Silkie/Aracauna due the 10th of June. I'm expecting a half dozen of Bronze turkey eggs today and if they incubate for 21 days they will hatch on june 11th.
