Yup!

Setting 42 eggs today! I am very eggcited, 10 are fertilized shipped eggs, 8 are from a friend who has hens and roosters but doesn't know if they are fertile, and the rest are from the grocery store, I am testing to see if you can hatch any from the store. I have organic, range free, cage free, and then "normal" brown eggs.

don't know why I'm not getting emails about this but got this one . I think this puts you right up there with Walnuthill for hatching outside the box . what about your hygrometer did you calibrate it . do what the lady's say and you'll be fine. good luck with your project.

I am going to use the dry incubation method

Did you get any eggs specifically marked "fertile eggs" or did you get regular eggs? I know at some Trader Joes and Whole Foods you can get fertile eggs.

I am going to use the dry incubation method

dry is all I ever do . humidity here is always around 65% that puts the dew point around 55 degrees we had heavy dew last night . now even if you run dry you should still keep track of the humidity. since this for a science fair it should part of your data .starting with set and ending with the hatch . you will need to spike the humidity to 65 or 75 % at hatch . recording data is a major part of science. your report should layout basic hatching methods. how you varied from that and what the results are .the experiment is lost without proper data collection .I want to know how you do.

HELP!!!!!! So I have been gone the last 3 days. When I came back today I was watching tv and heard chirping from incubator. I went and looked at it and and egg has a big pip in it. When I was candling this egg's veins were very thick, it is day 14!!! This egg came from my friends farm. What should I do??? Eggs are in a turner???

set up the brooder stop the turner till the hatch is complete. I've had three hatch in the turner this year and all have been fine . and the turner was going. I found them after they had hatched . your egg must have been under a broody hen for a week. Its no big deal . check the others for more pips .
