Incubating and hatching eggs chat thread!!

As soon as the bobwhites hatch I'm going to incubate a pile of the blue eggs. My son's friends wants some olive eggers

Wow!! That is so awesome!

Whoever wants to hatch eggs, they can get them from whole foods or trader joes!

How many eggs would you all say you've hatched in a lifetime? 200?

My front room looks like a Incubator display window. 1502 sportsman cabinet, 2 1588 genesis, brinsea 20 adv, and a reptipro 6000, and an LG 9200 for a hatcher.

I am not npip. And don't have silkies or cochins. But a lot of barnyard mix, cream legbar, leghorn and quail.

My hatching will slow down drastically after the 1st. Reducing my flock and just gonna hatch quail.

Brooders are pretty full.

Wow!! That is so amazing! I want to get some of trader joe's eggs and hatch them. Does anyone know what breed they could be?

Never kept track. I'm probably pushing 300 since April. I have 200 set to hatch tues. When I set quail I set 120 to 240 at a time.

Last year I probably hatched around 300. I'm on track to hatch about the same this year.

I didn't count the quail lol

 

[KaylorFarms]

Wow!! I didn't know an incubator could hold that many! Do you keep what you hatch?
