that junk is really not on top of it

, the bookcase is behind it.

Just a few test eggs to see if the thing works. My camera batteries died, but I will try to get closer picts of the two eggs in at the top that have cracks in them, w/o opening the bator. Two of the three on the bottom are moving.

the only concern i have is when the chicks hatch they may fall through the wire at the bottom and fall into the water.

 

[sabianshepherds]

Yeah, I meant to put some smaller wire in there. Not sure what to do now, just watching like a hawk.

One chick out, 1:12 am. I didn't get much sleep, the incubator is in my bedroom. It chirped all night. Two have air holes, one no air hole but I hear it chirping. The last looks like its a no go, so hatch rate is 90%.

You can make a little hatch box for them, so they won't get tangled in the wire. Just one of those dishes like underneath.
Oh, and if it cries constantly, he's not happy... too cold/hot...?

That is so exciting!!

I don't think there's anything cooler than hearing peeping from inside an egg

Can't wait to hear how it goes!

 

[Gomes Bantams]

That is amzing! You never get over the thrill of hatchin' eggs!

it appears that these were fertilized by the frizzle cochin roo. they look like sex linked chicks. one is completely solid black, with the darkest feet I've seen on a barred rock. The other is black with yellow spots on his head, wings and sides.
