First Hatch Of 2021

[KingD]

Hello guys.
I recently re-homed a Rooster. He's a Brahma mix, a big old boy.
He lives in with my hens which consist of Lohmann Browns and a Copper Maran.
As everyone would know, Rooster + Hens = Fertile eggs.
I decided I didn't have enough hens so on 13th Feb I put some eggs in the incubator (10).
They are on day 11 and ALL the eggs are showing strong signs of life!
I could carry on waffling all day but I'll stop here!
I will update anyone who's interested along the way and hopefully get some chicks on 6th March. *Fingers crossed*
I will try and get some pics of them hatching ect as well.

I have done a lot of hatching before but anyone with some useful advice is welcome to share it.

Thanks for viewing!

Woohoo! I’m glad they are developing!
By “rehomed a rooster” did you mean you got rid of him? Or that you have him a new home by taking him in?

I re-homed him by taking him in

How do you like that incubator? I have a smaller Brinsea and I detest it.

Yes it's so good!
Really easy to use and not too big either.
You can make very precise changes to temp and humidity as well.
It's the Brinsea Ovation 28 eco.
Would definitely recommend it.

Soooo. First pipping.
They are supposed to hatch on Saturday.
We'll see what happens.
Time to set up the brooder!

Woohoo!
