Okay, my Buff Orps, Dominiques, and Silver Laced Cochins are on day 18. I've culled everything that's not a full egg at this point. All the babies are wiggling in there
Tonight, I fill up the water well thing and duct tape the lid shut(

) right?

Also, I've got Toulouse goose eggs and peafowl in another bator. They were put in on April 29. Should I just leave them together after the chicks hatch in the other or should I separate them after the new babes are in the brooder? I've also got a bunch of button quail eggs and some Silkie eggs coming.

HELP!!
Do I need to get ANOTHER bator?

Anyone? I don't want to mess this up!

ARGH!!! DH is going to draw and quarter me.

I just did my final culling and am down to 11 eggs and 4 maybes. I cannot tell with the four eggs whether it's a chick or just dead goop in there. Should I keep them in there or cull them? They are not as full as the one's with moving babies....

Also, did a check on my peafowl and toulouse geese eggs, it *looks* like none of them are viable But, they are only on Day 13.

Any advice on those two issues?

HAHAHAHA, you and me both!!! I have 25 buttons, 27 chicken and 1 duck egg in one bator, I think the duck egg is a quiter though, today is day 32, and only half the egg is dark... Oh well, my main concern is the buttons.

Also have several more button eggs on the way. UGH

I think I will buy another 1588 if I get a good bonus this month! Hubby has to register his car, so whatever is left is mine for a bator! Everybody keep your fingers crossed that I get a $350+ bonus!

I would just leave everything in til these hatch, then check to others again after.
