Good job. I have 7 marans and amerauvanas in the big house that are 4 weeks under a heat mat. 6 ameraucanas the kitchen just under 2 weeks and a new batch going in today, otloffs and ameraucanas. Next week I'm putting in more marans, ameraucanas and welsummers. I'm keeping all this year. Next year I'll have some eggs for sale. Computer broke so not getting pic now.

Sounds like you are keeping busy. Wish we had more room to keep more birds here...

I did a quick candling on the eggs on day 10....cleaned a few out. One that was shipped was totally clear. On my eggs.....I knw I had some that had sat around a while....I think I cleaned out 6 or 7 of those. Now we wait until April 3 and see what happens.

Hi Matt!

Ive got 28 in there still. Some I cant see through, so I just left them in. So I did things a little different this time.....I had water in for the first three days....around 50%.... then added no more, stayed around 10 - 12% for days 4 - 18. Tomorrow night I will take the eggs out of the turner and up the humidity.

I got them all set into lockdown tonight.

Well now u got me to watching and waiting to see what happens with your hatch! I am on day 7 and it is taking everything I got not to go and open the bator to candle!

 

[mattsinger]

I know...it drives me nuts. This time I set the bator up in the basement...trying for the out of sight, out of mind.
