help I'm getting the hatching fever{ update I've set it up}

[okiehen]

I can't help myself I've set back 18 eggs and now I'm thinking real hard about heating up the incubator.
My chicks are just 2 weeks old and don't have a place outside to put them fixed up yet.
My husband is going to flip or kill me one.
I had what I think was a great hatch for my first try.
I started out with 18 eggs only 2 were clear.
had 16 eggs good and going , I lost 4 of 16 they had chicks the died at peeping.
So I have 12 chicks that are healthy and doing great.
The eggs that I set back are some that I didn't get last time. Out of my Barred Rocks and Australorp hens. I got one chick that is Australorp x game.
All of my chicks are from my game roo.
What do I do help me plaese.

Update 2-20-08 set it up

You plug the incubator in and get it heating of course.

Ok now I've pluged it up .
He wouldn't let me get the barred rock eggs from Lisa, so I'll just have to put the ones I got in and run a test hatch.
I will be getting some eggs from Lisa soon.
And I am going to get some Welsummers too.
So he just might as well get ready.
Oh and when my hens go broody they will need eggs too.
