Aurora, that is one packed bator. I'm thinking of packing mine like that, but standing them up in cartons. Then, I can tilt the whole bator to turn them. We'll see how many eggs I end up setting! Other option would be to set them in double decker fashion.

Hey lg!!!

I was going to try to get pictures as my one egg progressed, but it didn't do much last night or early this morning, so I didn't bother taking more pictures, though I did check several times to see if it was still alive, and of course it was. Had to run to the vet this morning, and guess what? That silly little chick finished zipping in the two hours I was gone! Will post pictures of the lone chick later.

Good luck I wish you the best!!! you can do it!!

The cold water is supposed to be the best way. what do they read at room temp with your thermostat in that room?

@ChickenCanoe Thanks for that information, I'm going to get all of this figured out if it's the last thing I do, but I'm the first to admit that I'm not the brightest crayon in the box.

oh stop that!

Well, I have 8 babies hatched out of 14 eggs yesterday. Very happy. I was sure that I had 10 chicks last night but guess they left the nest and got devoured or trampled by the larger ones, or I miscounted. It was probably the second one. I divided them evenly between the two broody mothers that hatched them out. I am having problems with one mother not waiting for them and not letting the little ones warm up that much. They are in an enclosed pen about 2x3 feet. If that hen does not change soon then the other one will get all of them....

I am thinking that this is the same hen that lost her babies in August last year due to not letting them under her. I will leg band her if I do switch give the chicks to the other hen..

Thanks!!! I am very happy with the turn out. I cannot even get a better hatch with my incubator.. I need about 20 more pullets to hatch out this spring so I can replace my old flock
