yeah on the eggs hatching, I was so happy that my Australorps are laying good I get 5 eggs a day from them, waiting to get it up to 7 or 8. We are also getting 4-5 a day from 7 swedish flower hens, I will be separating my RIR this weekend. My special stuff is mostly only 1-2 hens so can't get many eggs that way but they are so adorable.I turned my incubator on to do some test hatches (just the styrofoam one) but since I set several groups of eggs, I needed to turn the cabinet on so the styrofoan could be used as a hatcher. So far I have 1 Speckled Sussex, 1 Icelandic, and one BCM hatched. A bantam Langshan died pipping. I have pips in BCM, Iowa Blue, Welsummer, and RIR and a BCM zipping. Now if my girls would lay more than 4-5 eggs a day so I can fill the cabinet for spring sales.
Yes, AyeUpChuck, the bator is on. LOL
