First hatch of the year.

[CayuseRanch]

Its rapidly approaching that time of year again! Hatch time...I do believe I need a little practice before the full season hits, so I have plugged in the Brinsea and started collecting eggs. Anyone want to join in?

I am collecting my maran eggs to see if my rooster is doing his job. If I am able to find some olive eggers or Swedish flower hens to ship this week then I will add those too...otherwise maybe a few barnyard mixes.

I do have one standard Cochin egg in there but mostly Marian. I missed the new years one... but practicing for Easter hatch.

I just set eggs this morning, this is my second time hatching via incubator.
I usually hatch broody so wish me luck!

I set only 5 eggs of cochin/maran cross..

Just put in the eggs right when the clock struck midnight here. It's my first hatch, so I'm very excited!

I'm putting some in the bator and some under a broody silkie on Thursday night or Friday morning. Bator is warmed up and stable, can't wait for the eggs!

We are starting our first hatch today with our homemade still air incubator. We are putting 4-5 of our barnyard mixes. Can't wait to see if we are successful!
