I'm in! It's my first hatch of the season, which makes it extra exciting. And I'm using a new incubator which adds to the excitement as well. I just set 32 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte eggs this morning in my new Brinsea 20 Advanced... so I'm just half a day or so behind you. 14 are shipped, 13 are fresh from my hens and 5 are ones I pulled from my refrigerator to fill the extra space. I've marked those and will be interested to see if they hatch.

I might get some surprises from my eggs. Along with my flock of BLRW, I have two buff hens who's eggs I was trying to avoid, and a blue rooster who is pretty low on the totem poll so I don't know if he'll get to be a daddy or not. But I'll be interested to see if I get any mixes or if they are all pure BLRW.

I assume you're hatching silkies? From what I've read, it seems like they can be a little trickier to hatch than other breeds. What has your experience been? Are you hatching your own eggs or shipped eggs? What sort of incubator? I can't wait to see chick pictures in a few weeks... silkies are some of the cutest chicks out there.
