I know it’s early but for me I set when they are laying since they aren’t known to lay many eggs.
4 of 8 are out. 3 have pipped externally. Due tonight so right on time.
Brooder is ready.
White Cornish
More due for the next 2 to 3 weekends.

I candled 3/10 eggs earlier and I have 2 🕷……..will hopefully get to candle the rest tonight
New little ones to add to the flock… Going to take a wild guess and say the little black one is a cockerel.
A couple Mosaics, Isbar, Pita Pinta and Barbezieux. The Swedish Flower and one other didn’t make it in photos. They were still baking in the incubator.
The quail are trying to figure out what these giants are.

Nice mix of birds.
