My Millie Fleur eggs arrived this week and i set them in the bator late last night. I have 33 eggs in a bator and 5 under my hen Itty Bitty (she is one crazy broody mamma!) I had 39 eggs total but one arrived cracked so I am down to 38! I will keep you updated on my progress!
Hatch Date: March 3, 2010
Day 1 - temp GREAT! Humidity a little low, but still climbing
Day 2 - I made my egg turner functional without a motor until the replacement arrived. When DH Was turning the eggs he went too far and they all spilled out of the turner! Luckily none cracked! I took them all out, put them in cartons while hubby installed the new motor on the turner. I quickly reset the eggs in the turner and got them back up to temp. I hope that the 3 min they were out of the bator will not kill them, I hope that since it was only day 2 it would not cause too much of a problem! Got the turner in and working and the temperature and humidity are spot on . . .
