Good morning everyone.

I've got my fingers and toes crossed up here. The EO eggs just left the sorting center! I let our mail lady know they were coming. Hoping for a smooth shipping and good hatch. It's going to be a long month. Forewarning-lots of shipped egg questions coming.

read the hatching tips in my Siggy.
 
Ron, I've never found your postings to be lacking! You and so many others on this thread are so giving with help and information.
 
I just loaded up my daughter's kindergarten class with eggs from Chiqita. The teacher hatches every year and used a little giant. She had only a mercury thermometer in there. No means of seeing the humidity. She told me she just fills up the wells when they look low. I was having a heart attack. She has successful hatches every year. I was trying to decide whether i should bring mine in for her to use or not. I can't belive how much i stress about having everything right and she just loads and goes. Maybe she is the smarter one after all. IDK? She was open to any advice. What do you think?

It is wonderful that she hatches!

Help her out--get her a good thermometer and a hygrometer, especially if she is hatching Marans. They really do better on the dryer side.

She may need a better candler if she does that with the students.

Good for you getting the eggs for her too

uhhh... Maybe leave well enough alone? "Some" of us are really OCD about incubation and hatching. I could be, but I trust my Binsea incubator(s). I, too, set and go. But with an LG, that IS amazing. Maybe it's all the combined wishes of the kids in the class? :)
