First attempt at hatching

[rkalgren]

I have been lurking here for years and after reading all of the advice on incubating I have decided to try my hand at it. I am using two borrowed incubators, one with an automatic egg turner and one without for hatching. They are both still air ,but I am hoping to upgrade to my own in the future and would welcome suggestions. I am setting 18 Barnevelder eggs and about a dozen bantam brahma eggs. After reading the entire thread on incubating I decided to go with the dry method, since my incubators are in a basement that is already humid. Wish me luck.

Good luck with your hatch!

Thank-you for your well wishes.

Temp went over 102 for a couple hours. What now?

It will probably be fine. Nerve wracking isn`t it.

Very nerve racking.
