I'm trying to prepare if any of my hens go broody this summer. Have any of you ordered fertile eggs from a company and did if you did did the timing work out?

I haven't had ISA browns nor do I know if I've ever seen one but my guess on that would be the third one.
I think the first is the Welsummer and the second is the Brown Leghorn.
Are you getting rid of some? Why the urgency to know? In a couple more months you'll know for sure. Especially when you see the egg color.

I am trying to figure out exactly what I have and if I need to find a couple more of either type. I am also trying to decide what needs to sell, what pens I need to build, and so I can put the right groups and roosters together in the right coops. I will know on all three when they lay since I should get white, brown, and dark brown eggs. I just hate not knowing what all I have so I can make a clear decision. I have also lost too many of one or the other and would like to get them now so I can get done with brooders. I don't care as much on the Welsummers, but I have plans for the brown Leghorn pullets.

Don't overcook them.

I was going to increase the temp because that's what was suggested on here, but I ended up having to turn it down, I hope my eggs are alright!

Are my eggs okay?! So I set my incubator yesterday for school asked a few questions here the other day I said the temp was at about 99 so I went there early this morning and was going to increase the temp and when I opend the incubator it read 104! I'm not sure if this is too high and the eggs will be no good? They have only been in the incubator for not even 24 hours thanks! Just to add I did have the incubator set up 3 days before and the temp was consistently 99

Hard to say, no way of knowing how long the temp was that high. If you found it this morning how did it look all day? Do you have a thermometer you are using or just the one that came with the incubator?

Oh my.

It's unpredictable. Do you have an incubator if you order eggs and don't have a broody hen?

I now have 14 eggs in the incubator , so far only 1 of the bator unplugging mess ,hatched i think im going to take a peak with a light to see if i see any movement tonight cause im really thinking they might be no gos now :-(

Good luck with the 14. I hope you find good eggs in the bator that was unplugged.
