I would like to thank everyone here. Being a complete newcomer to hatching, I was able to build my own incubator and successfully hatch 18 of 20 eggs by just reading and
learning from all the knowledge in the forum.

I built a large cabinet incubator and bought the egg turners because I was very anxious to give it a try. For a trial run I only used 20 eggs. One was a non starter and one failed
to pip. Eighteen eggs hatched beginning about 5am Thanksgiving morning till about 6am this morning.

The dark ones are Barred Rock/Silver Laced Wyandott
The lighter ones are Pure SLW
 
Thank you, I am now hooked. Spent all day yesterday in front of the incubator waiting for the next one to hatch.
 
Thanks for the compliment on the incubator. Building wasn't very hard. Wondering if it would work properly was the hitch.
