Ok, here's a pick of my first serious incubator. I am going to make a member page (but I'm on my cell right now and too lazy to walk to my computer), and I PROMISE I will update as the hatch progresses and keep everyone up to date! Not starting hatch until February 26.

The wooden box has two computer fans, one for intake and one for blowing out past the heating elements behind that metal grate. DH tells me if one element goes out, another will take over. The thermostat is underneath the egg shelf near the intake fan. The shelf has sides on it so chickies don't fall off. The whole thing is SUPER quiet.

1/6 eggs looking VERY dead, as in chuck-that-thing-quick-before-it-starts-smelling dead.

One very odd one, seems dead but leaving in just in case.... Development is lesser than the 4 live ones, but it almost seems like the chorio-allantoic membrane developed incorrectly??? It's patchy.

I have two of the five olive egger eggs that had funny looking veins at 14 days (as in, was I catching them just as the first of the veins were starting to lose definition), but it was so hard to look into them that I'm going to lock them down unless day 18 candle (Wednesday) looks clearly super bad.

I hope they make it

Hello!
For anyone in Arizona or near Arizona, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me out with an online chick order. I found a guy that ships beautiful Lavender Ameraucanas, but he was a 25 chick minimum. So, I was wondering if anyone would like to order some chicks with me so that I didn't have to order so many to fit the order requirements. They also carry bantam buff and Lavender Ameraucanas, bantam vorwerk, lavenvelders, hamburgs, and blue eggers. For large fowl, they carry Lavender, buff, and silver Ameraucanas. Thanks!

Here's the link to his birds:
