Anyone setting eggs 1/19/11?

I got curious on my one mutt egg. It is only 3 days along but something is definitely going on in it so it is fertile!!!

21 eggs at day 8. Candling them Mon. so I'm getting excited to see if they were fertile. Loving the HovaBator so far. Holds temp and humidity really well.

As soon as these fuzzy butts are out of the bator, I'll be setting lots of eggs.

Couldn't wait... just candled my eggs at day 9 and 1/2 and found only 2 clear eggs. One egg looks like it has a blood ring, but also looks like a baby in there. Leaving it a couple more days. I thought I had 21 eggs in the bator, but DH might have added 6 more that second day. Looked kind of guilty and I didn't find a hen laying in there. lol Several eggs looked like something was moving around a bit. The two clear ones are from a BO, so all the fun ones are still a go. Whoot!!! Hatching Feb. 4th so wish me luck.

Okay, I had set my 36 egg clutch at 6pm on the 18th... I jumped the gun apparently.

oops!
Anyways, I candled today and here are the results:
Group 1 has 24 eggs collected within 3-4 days leading upto incubation. After candling, I removed 1 of the 24 due to a bacterial ring and there is 1 question mark egg due to the pores of the egg shell making it near impossible to see if there is any veining. This egg will remain until I can better judge if there is any development or not.
Group 2 has 12 EE/ "?"(unsure if the BG or BLRW is papa) eggs that were in my basement for 2 weeks prior to collecting Group 1. Candling, amazingly revealed that every last egg from this group IS developing !!

Congrats to you both. I am going to clean and turn on sportsman #2 tomorrow and make sure it gets up to temp. I will be setting a very large batch of eggs later this week and It will finish filling sportsman#1 and half of #2...I am a hatchaholic! (actually it is'nt just me, my husband & kids are just as bad !)

Egg Crazy,
Christie

Finally got #2 cleaned and going to turn it on tonight. Should be setting a very large batch of eggs on Thursday. I am sooo excited. This batch will consist of more RIR, bantam cochins, Light sussex, Ameraucanas(lavender & Black) & some games for my husband too.

We have a very good start for our kids 4H birds for this year...now we just have to wait.
