First time incubating chicks!

[Abundance Farm]

Okay, CRad, how're ya doing? Getting ready for lock down? I start lockdown Sunday. I am nervous already but been reading here and learning a lot. thinking of taking Wednesday (day 21) off work. I tried candling my eggs and can not see much. 18 of them are Marans and hard to see into. A few of the 6 from Queen, my rooster are good. Can't identify any yet that are definitely NOT good. I think I am worrying over it too much. I am thinking I will leave all 24 in the bater and see what happens. Tell me how you are doing. Let's keep track of each other.

I'm excited for both of you. I am thinking of getting an incubator myself. Just bought a bunch more chicks. All kinds. I'm soooo excited. But now hubby is talking about going into business bred ding some of the breeds we just bought. I will be watching to see how both of your experiences with incubating turns out.. Hopefully good ..
