Ok, I have 16 eggs in my 'bator!!

I told my hubby that the lid is not to be opened for anything. I hope we make it 21 days!!!

I set 10 shipped eggs at 7am this morning so I'll walk this walk with you. Shipped eggs make me nervous no matter how many times I do it! I'm using a Genesis 1588 with a turner. Here we go everybody!

Right on Fshinggrl! thanks for the link. Were you gonna candle? if so when? I have 20 assorted eggs shipped from Iowa to California and I'm gonna set tonight in a LG still air with turner.

What an awesome birthday present for your son. Good luck to everyone.

Got mine in the mail today, I will be setting mine tonight at midnight.

16 black copper marans-----shipped
9 barnyard assortment from my flock.


This is my first time hatching too.

Hovabator 2362N, no turner.....

I set 20 today in my incubator.. So I am right there with you!

 

[fshinggrl]

Awesome!! It looks like we have a nice group! I set mine not to roll.. and will change that in a few days. On day 3, I plan on taking a plug out.. hopefully that is what I am supposed to do. That is what the instructions with the incubator say.

I'm with you, put in 15 chicken eggs this morning and am going to put some duck eggs in tonight.

 

[magoochie]

well I couldnt wait until midnight, I just put my eggs in the incubator.

I let the shipped eggs rest (pointy end down) for 10 hours at room temperature. And my barnyard mix has been at room temp for 2 days (turning 2 times per day) then resting the last 10 hours with the shipped eggs.


here we go!!!! I'm already nervous. LOL

Here's hopin......

i'm using the lg still air with a pc fan installed and my temps were all over the place then they'd settle down, then they'd be all over the place again - but today, i guess with the 60+ weather we got my temps and humidity have been holding steady - I hope our cold days and snow days are over - I really want this hatch to go well since my first hatch last week I only got 3 surviving chicks out of the 24 eggs i set...

can't wait to see everyone's hatches!! love threads like this one!!!

 

[petunias212]

lol! you sound like me - I couldn't wait to put my shipped eggs in the bator either!
