did anyone else put eggs in there incubator today

Locked and loaded last evening @ 7 PM.
Bator has been rock solid at 99.5F and 45% RF.
I ain' touching it until a week from Sunday.
 
I add eggs everyday. In another 12 days I'll have chicks hatching everyday until the end of summer. Wait a minute, rethinking that. I don't let summer ending stop me.

I will say yes to this. Technically, it was about 4pm yesterday afternoon. This is my first time so we will see how it goes. I have my fingers crossed!
 
I'm on day 4 with 21 eggs, and last night I put in my first egg from my own chickens!!! Woo hoo! Good hatching vibes being sent to us all!

The incubator I bought yesterday lost half a degree Celsius in the night. Is half a degree a big deal or not? To set eggs or not to set...?

Temperature I was told to set it at by vendor is 37.5 C (99.5 F).
Temperature it showed early in the morning is 37.0 C (98.6).

It is fan forced.


ChickyLaura, your eggs and daughter are so cute!

I set 17 bantam faverolles from hcammack yesterday along with 4 of my own buff orpingtons an 4 of my EE's blue eggs (RIR roo) in my brinsea eco 20.

I got a new cheapie hygrometer/thermometer from Wal-o yesterday and that reads 96* while the bator's thermometer reads 102 SIGH
