I stuck a dozen and a half eggs into the HovaBator styro on the 28th. Hope we all have great hatches!

I put my 6 shipped eggs in the bator yesterday afternoon. I'm doing the weight loss method to make sure my humidity is were it needs to be. This is only about the 2nd time using this new incubator and still working out the best settings for it. Got a good hatch out of it last time but they all turned out to be roos. Don't think that was the bators fault, just my luck.

Good luck everyone, I can't wait to candle.

Is your silkie having any trouble covering all of them since they are large eggs? Silkie's are really good broodies. I have several of mine at the moment that are broody but I won't be using them this time. The post office was a bit rough on my box and the 3 extra eggs got cracked. My Brinsea only holds 7 eggs, so no extras this time to give to the broodies. They'll have to wait till next year.

My pedres (Portuguese- IDK what she is in english!) just sat down over 9 eggs Sunday August 28. She's doing all the work, I'm just watching her. I am going to try some candling for the first time, with instructions from this forum. It's my first time experiencing this!

No she isn't having any trouble!! But seriously these eggs are bigger than the ones we get at the store!!

I have this ditzy naked neck, and she popped 2 more eggs in there! My Pedres rejected one, but has accepted the other. My Naked Neck is so wonky! My other Pedres is putting eggs in a different nest, and now my Naked Neck has started adding there.

But everything else is great with my Pedres. She's only getting up once a day.

I have 10 under a broody since 8/27! First timer here, so hoping she's a good momma since she's the only one of 15 to ever go broody!
