Yapping I shall... My incubator just came in!
I've got it working right now and have it at 37.5C... I have a meat thermometer in there so see what the incubator's reading is right... So now I have a few options....
I could incubate the following but I don't know what I should do first

#1 1 dozen EEs, 1 dozen Barred rocks, and 1 dozen Serama eggs

#2 2 dozen call ducks, 6 khakis, and 6 duck mixes

#3 2 dozen turkey eggs

#4 2 dozen Guinea eggs

Which one should I go for first? So many choices!

I'm stuck between #1 and #2... and hatching guinea keets is very tempting for me.. I might do both #1 and #4 but at the same time I reeeaally want some ducklings.... If my calls don't start laying by January the 25th i'll set the guineas and chickens together.

I have never incubated Chicks...Mommas do it for me..Chicks do way better raised by a Hen..

Agreed.. But I doubt i'll have any broodies in January unless one of my bantams step up.
Maybe I could try some guineas, seramas, and calls... Though I think they all need different humidity temps.. I'ma check real' quick

My Duck Hens do great in the summer..I hoard Duck eggs and incubate then when tired of it let Mommas do a Hatch..Then they are done laying till winter..
