They were laid by birds on the farm. Purchased as biddies from Ideal Hatchery

They are from birds coming back into lay before the others

O M G.... ok, after THIS many years, I have finally bought a 'bator!!!!!!! in now have on my counter a brand new Brinsea Eco Octagon 20
Next Friday I will be picking up some VERY important eggs. I have never hatched before. My favorite breed in the world are Sultans. They are such an endangered breed. I have been given the opportunity to help their numbers by hatching and breeding them. O M G!!!!! I have no clue and am scared to death..... lolol I cant wait!

well, you are in the right place to learn from all the posted information from prep to hatch and beyond. There are also great and helpful people. Read, share, and ask!
Welcome

Good choice

If you get a chance Google, Walter Hogans The Call of the Hen. Written 1916 great information on choosing layers and other chicken stuff. There's a free version out there on line. I'm going to see if I can buy a reprint.
