February/March 2017 Hatch-a-long

Is there going to be a St.Patrick's day Hatch-a-long?

I'm planning to set a few eggs for a St. Paddy's Day hatch. I want to set a few Silver Laced Orpington eggs and maybe a few barnyard mix eggs.

I have 2 silkie hens that are sitting on 9 eggs combined! They have been sitting for about a week.

Is there anyone here incubating in a Genisis 1588 digital unit? I recently purchased one and was wondering how much I should rely on the digital readings it displays. My unit I have to set at 98.7 to get my calibrated thermometer to read a 100. My humidity reads 68% on the genesis but my hygrometer/thermometer reads 78% in the unit. I'm just wondering if anyone else has a newer Genisis 1588 and have found the same variations? Thanks

I did a candling on the eggs last night, and I saw movement in 9 of the eggs.

Day 14 on my chickie-children. Looks like 3 more didn't form, so it's 4 out of 8 still in the running.
