In 2009 I incubated about (how many?) eggs.

24 in the incubator and 20 hatched,12 under broodys that I put their and 11 hatched (one died it did not absorb its yoke), and 2 under broodys that I did not put their and 1 hatched.
Total-38

My New Year's resolution is breed chickens and incubate more eggs. I bet my resolution next year will be to stop breeding chickens and to incubate less eggs

I hatched 1940 on my last count and have my final 24 eggs in the bator finishing up hatching from 2009.
 
bout 100 eggs set and got about 40 to hatch. My goal is to get at least a 75% hatch rate from my own eggs:-)
 
I have about 180 chicks of various ages in holding pens and brooders around waiting for the spring auction market to heat up around March 1st. I probably hatched out about 400 thru the year that were sold as 6 week old chicks. I use 3 model 1588 Hovabators. Oh, I also have 2 incubators full that will hatch out sometime this month.

Several hundred............

I probably don't really want to know the actual number.

WE have 200+ in brooders and grow out pens at this time.

I keep saying I am going to shut it down..............
 
I started in September and I set about 70 eggs total and I have 15 live chicks to show for it. 2 from the 1st batch of 19 shipped silky eggs, 6 about 24 of my own mutt eggs and 7 from a batch of 24 of my mutt eggs. I also set 3 under a broody but none made it. I have been taking a break to let these chicks grow out before I hatch any more. My hatch rate for the last batch wasn't too bad when I take out the double yolkers I set and the clears, only 2 didn't hatch and one died at day 3, so I am ready to buy some more expensive eggs once I sell some of the birds I have or build another coop

Happy hatching in 2010
