First batch of year

[newfie bullet]

I put 18 eggs in my Hovabator 1588, on March 2nd. On day 10 I candled them and took out 3 unfertile eggs. There were black australorps hens covered by a buff Orpington rooster.On day 18 took turner out and added water to number 4 chamber , locked down and waited. Started piping March 23rd and on mar 24 noon time the first one came out . 25th am they were all out 14 of them , not bad from 15 good eggs and there were shipped in from another province and had a 8 hr trip on the ferry.
