Me too.

I just had 12 eggs in the incubator, 9 hatched (8 rounded and 1 pointed) I got 8 Hens and 1 Rooster, 3 didn't hatch. So, I would say that this is pretty accurate.

So I have to ask, how were you able to sex the chicks at hatch? Were they sex-links so you could tell at hatch which were F and which were M? Also, how could you tell which chick came from the pointy egg?
