December hatch-along?

I have the 3 Silkie eggs hatching now, and despite saying that every hatch since September would be my last... I just set 25 eggs. Moral of the story.. I am not to be trusted lol. The eggs are in my still air, which is making me nervous. I wish I’d moved my current hatch to it instead.

10 English Orpington eggs from a breeder on MeWe: 5 Lavender and 5 Chocolate.

15 Silkie eggs from Geri Gordina: 7 White and 8 Porcelain/blue cream.

Hatch date 12/18.
 
Just did the 7 day candle: 5 blood rings, 13 clears, 19 developing :celebrate...not bad when half the eggs were 11-21 days old when set. Put all seven of the good ones from the old FI incubator in the new Brinsea, replacing the clears and blood rings (7 total! Funny how that worked out:cool:) that I pulled from the Brinsea. If one of my girls goes broody, I'll move a half dozen to her and keep fingers crossed. Hatch date 12/12 ish :jumpy (we've had bantams hatch 2 days early at times). Starting to worry a bit about protecting the chicks - we're having rat issues. Guess I'll cross that bridge...
