Excited about the first batch in the incubator

[genesis120]

I've been raising chickens for three years and have used this site for reference and then finally decided to become a member. Now I've decided to try and raise my first batch of eggs in an incubator. Going to be an interesting assortment I have eggs from silkies and buff orpingtons and various crosses using my silky and buff orpington roosters.

Thank you for the links. With the info in the links I have improved my homemade incubator and hopefully increased hatch rate.
