My neighbor and i have a total of 82 eggs set in two different incubators at the moment. Set the eggs on Sunday. Most will be barnyard mutts. I am looking forward to the silkie americauna and now phoenix crosses. The original silkie americauna crosses are the cutest things. I will let you know the progress.

Wow, that is ambitious!!! Are you using your water/wine cooler as an incubator this year too? Keep us updated!!!

It's making some progress and I see some others starting to show signs of about to externally pip. And of course I can't upload pictures again.

I have enjoyed sharing in your happy pipping.
I still have some popcorn.

Come on lil one you can do it!

Yup,, I am using the wine cooler incubator that I made last year. I hatched a total of around 100 last year. Most I gave to my neighbor down the street. I will definitely keep everyone updated.. We will candle this Sunday and see what kind of fertilization rate we have.

This egg has been pipping since 230 YESTERDAY afternoon.

I am getting very anxious about this itty bitty. Wtd? I have 23 more eggs in the hatching incubator.

Hope you get a great hatch. I have been hatching for so many years now that I sometimes forget to look to see if I have little ones running about. I do remember my first year of hatching and I was a nervous wreck.

Still not fully hatched, I think it might be shrink wrapped? Halp?!

Instead of moving the whole incubator, I get a steamy washcloth and put the egg into it and then go to a steamy bathroom....

Good luck!
