Great! I hope they hatch for you wonderfully.

The Sebright eggs I got was for new blood for my niece's flock. She's the one who raises the Sebrights.

I want to get her started with silkies, too, but it would take building another pen, and my brother isn't convinced yet.

It never gets old. No matter how many hundreds of eggs I've hatched, those pips get me started jumping up and down in impatience!

See, I like setting the eggs - too much. Then I like turning them and candling them - again probably too much. Then I have to go to work when they start pipping, or it's a rare get to sleep in day like today and I miss everything. Then I LOVE the brooder phase because it's better than TV!!

Oh, and I really like collecting the eggs too. Haven't done the buying/shipping of eggs yet. Need a waaaayyy bigger incubator before I do that cuz it'll get crazy! And of course I have my eye on one.... yep, I'm a total newbie who is completely hooked!!

When should I start rotating the eggs in the incubator? I usually start on day one because I have an auto turn cradle, but this time I let them sit in the incubator for a day or two before I turned the auto turn on. Could I have left them sit longer?

This is sucky! I bought the Sebright eggs the other day from @TJChickens because I knew I had another incubator on the way. I also have some of my own eggs I'm needing to get into an incubator ASAP.

Here is my brand new Brinsea freshly delivered and fresh out of the box, it looks like something gouged a big hole out of one end.

OMG!

That does not say much for quality control.

That said, I LOVE my brinsea.

I love my first Brinsea.

I'll love my second one when I get an unbroken one on Thursday. It better not be broken!!!!!!!!

I've heard people say they'll let them sit 5-7 days before turning if they're shipped eggs with detached air cells.

I guess quality control is not important anymore. I worked as a stocker for a grocery store and I would constantly open a box and find missing product or stuff completely crushed yet the outer box would be in perfect condition.
