Good luck!!! What kind of eggs did you set?

This is my 4th this year too I believe. 5th over all. I only had 1 chick hatch in the spring so I hope these hatch

This is my fourth batch this year. I went for 6 years without chickens and just got the bug again this year, lol.

Do you have the turner turned on for the first batch?

Yes. They sat for about 7 hours before I got back home from work, and the air cells look great, so I turned it on. Thus the dilemma with adding the new batch or letting them set until the Hovabator arrives and is set up and temp confirmed.

Tough call!!! Hopefully you'll be able to see in all of them to judge the air cells!

I am charging the battery for my candler, so that I don't have the same issue with a weak beam, like last batch. It seemed quite bright but I didn't think I was able to see as much as I did when I first got that batch, but after you mentioned that you like the rechargeable battery, I thought charging it might help. It made a world of difference.

Thanks! 15 mottled bantam Cochin(shipped) and some silkie from my birds.

Lmbo! Finally heard from the other vendor. They plan to ship my order tomorrow, Expedited shipping. That means I will probably receive them Monday? maybe Tuesday?
Wow, did I boo boo! Three batches, staggered about 2.5 days apart.
These two orders are 10+ eggs each. I already have 21 in my original incubator, leaving room for 21 more eggs. Depending on how many +s I get (or don't), these two may fit.
Self-inflicted quandry, lol.

I'm having flashbacks!!! LOL!!!

I did a staggered hatch. 1 week apart for 3 sets. All but 1 hatched and it zipped but was glued in.
