Haha you amd me both... in just a month and a half, 75 teenage quail, 65 baby's, and 70somthing eggs In the bator.
Not to mention 2 momma chickens hatching out 19 babies.
But the feeling never gets old when they first peep!!!!
Love hatching all sorts in different ways (momma or bator)​

my final count on the thanksgiving eggs were 5/6, 2 of the blue ones and one of the light colored ones were roosters. I gave 2 blue roosters to a friend, and kept the white one, the striped splash and a blue female.

now on day 14
with shipped eggs and some of mine.

Congrats and good luck on this one. Quick question. I saw something I have not read before. Why a copper cent in the water bowl?

My eggs are due to hatch in 7 days. Is there something I should do during this last week ?
