As of today, I have (between 2 incubators): 34 guinea, 99 coturnix, 16 ameraucana, 7 turkey, 7 pheasant, 6 duck, and 12 mixed eggs (from my birds). Under the broodies I have: 81 chicken, 11 duck (rouen duck broody), and at least 6 guinea (have 3 broody guineas, have only been able to check 1 of the nests). I have 2 other chicken hens that are on eggs, but I can't find the nests

So who knows how many eggs they have!

So what's cooking in your bators or under your broodies?

Your going to be busy!

I have 21 Australorp eggs that I am hatching for Poco, 10 Texas A&M that I am hatching for my Boss, 21 Aloha eggs from Laree, 8 Spitzhauben's and 6 Blue Copper Marans from Mamawolf, 15 eggs from my Coronation Split Sussex pair, and a few Silkie eggs.
 
I won't be too busy! The quail and guineas are already sold, I just need them to hatch first

I'm very good at killing turkeys and pheasants, so Idk if they'll even hatch. Most of the babies that are in these eggs will be sold, and a few of the mamas as well. The only ones I'm keeping are the ameraucanas, turkeys, and pheasants, and maybe a few of the quail

I have 9 bantam Amerucana in lock down beside 4 black pheasants for a friend. NO MORE this season. No more. No more. No more. Unless they are buff silkies

I've got seven Old English Game Bantams and fourteen blue/black Orpingtons in their second week right now. Those are for other folks, I'm just hatching for them.

Tonight I set more White Midget turkey eggs. Not sure how many as I may receive the payment for a hatching egg order today which will impact how many I set. At least twenty, maybe forty or more.

Next Friday I'll set some mixed breed chicken eggs to hatch with the turkeys. Those will likely be mostly Cuckoo Maran/Rhode Island Red crosses with a spinkling of others.
 
Hmmm....12 b/s orps and 8 lav orps from gumpsgirl, 16 split lav orp eggs from hinkjc, 8 bcm and 5 blue marans from monkeying around and 10 delawares and 8 java from someone else on BYc (forgot who). Waiting on 12 BLRW from Big Boy and 24+ buff orps from greenfamilyfarm.

Almost done hatching for the season, just finishing putting together my flocks. Not entirely who will stay and who will go until later in the summer.

I just set some of my eggs. 9 Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks, 6 Blue and Black Copper Marans, 5 Golden Cuckoo Marans, 16 Black Copper Marans. So my hatching date should be 6/10. These are all shipped eggs and a few have not so good air cells but most of them looked great before I set them now I don't candle until 7 days so I will know then how many might make it.
 
Shelly, you are my hero! I just had 4 of 6 orpingtons hatch, have 14 more due of my own Lavender/black orps the 26th. I'm waiting for 15 Pekin eggs(never done ducks

) they should be here tomorrow. Then I'm supposed to be getting about 4 dozen more orps from a couple places by the end of the month. I think they'll all just fit - it is gonna be close though!
