Biggest SET ever here! 4/12/10 *Pics!*

viable - 201

And I set 36 eggs at the same time in my new bator, I just hope some of them are still viable in 6 days.

217 viable in 6 days

I'll say a whopping 230 still viable at 6 days.

I have faith in you!

Hi! Y'all have more faith than I do.
I timed the midday turning today and it took a whopping 11 minutes to turn the eggs in all 4 incubators that need turning (the 3 set the 12th and 1 set the 29th). I pull out the first dozen to a carton and move everyone down and turn (and the doz I pulled out goes back to the other end), so no one sits in a possibly hot or cool space for very long (still air incubators have their limitations).
I had to open the other LG set the 29th (with turner and fan) and 'pet' those eggs so they wouldn't feel neglected, hahaha.

The ones set the 29th will go to hatchers on the 16th and be popping (hopefully) on the 19th.
The nearest guessers eggs went out in this mornings mail. Thanks for playing and guessing and THANKS big time for counting the eggs. If y'all hadn't, I still wouldn't know *exactly* how many are in there.
Counting down to candling the 18th on the BIG SET!

Yeah, my eggs are in the mail, this is so cool! Thanks again and happy hatching!

Hi! There you are, you lucky guesser you! They are on the way and I'll email about the other eggs.
I hope USPS handles them gently and moves them swiftly.

If you post pics after you toss the quitters I'll recount again for ya if you don't feel like it. Can you tell I'm OCD? lol

And I thought I had too many in my 'bators at 80+

Oh my gosh... so this is where this addiction lead's us.... Don't anybody tell my DH about this post... he would totally tell me that were NEVER going to hatch.... (I'm so going to buy some silky egg's next year!)
