Eggs in incubator 8/22. Anyone else putting eggs in?

What a mess ive gotten myself into. Storms have knocked out power a few times. I feel like i should keep everything on generators. I was moving my hatchery around and was redoing the stand for my hatcher. Lost track of time, checked my logs and tada today is lock down. Looks like the hatcher is going on the kitchen table this round. with two other incubators im fairly certain seizures will soon follow with all the lights coming on and off at different intervals. Did i mention i rebuilt the hatcher shelves and none fit. Im freaking out but i love caos so all is well. With another 12 dozen eggs coming next week i must say things have gotten out of control. Im loving it and hatch on my people.

I had to do some late night work in the shop which backs up to the coop. The chickens werent happy lol.

Oh, also they should be kept at a pretty constant temperature, somewhere between 60-80 degrees, but whatever temp. it should remain pretty consistent.

Can hardly wait!

lol Laniered... I thought my 4 egg lockdown was small - you win! Can't imagine a foot of rain in one storm...

no chick yet, but the hole is bigger, and a pip from another egg! The hatcher is so fogged up i just want to open the lid to wipe it off - NO! this is torture!

BairLea - LOVE that hatcher! Did you build it yourself? its beautiful! (and love the name - had to say it out loud to get it!)

Did you guys all set your eggs before the 22nd then, cos mine have still got a week to go and they went in on the 23rd?

 

[Bantam Chase]

I have some that went in before the 22nd, and some that went in after the 22nd - this was the closest hatch-along for me

I have some that went into the incubator on 8/21; they'll be going into lockdown on 9/7. Should have chicks this coming weekend.

Ive got 4 hatches going but i think this set was right around the 22nd. Most people dont get them name, but thanks. Yes i built the hatcher myself. I like my stuff to look like furniture.
