Incubators Anonymous

Update: one hatched, one hatching, one piped. Is it sad I can wait to get them out and the next ones in?

One should always hide poultry incubation and chicks from one's spouse as long as possible to avoid the "look"....

Only if it's possible lol. Then againa if your cabinet incubator is running at all times anyway, they never know what's in it

Hi! My name is Aimee. This is my first time incubating but I feel it may become a chronic happening. I have a
Yosoo Mini LED Digital Incubator. One egg currently piped and 3 more that should in the next few days.
I have a carton ready to go in as soon as they are out.

Oh yeah, you're going to be a regular lol. Welcome to the addiction!

I've done it again and it's too early to be doing this. I'm a day late for lockdown and I hear peeping coming from the cabinet :/ Gotta get them moved to the Hatcher!

I put some eggs into the incubator on Sunday, so it's going to be a while before I have new "chick pics" to share.

In the meantime, I took some pics today of my last hatch of 2018. (BTW- It was a broody hen. I promised DH that my incubators would stay in storage until 2019. LOL)

We let the silkie hen keep 2 seramas & a big blue orp.
They are 10.5 weeks old.
Sesame (formerly called "White" chick)
She's my fav.

Kung Pao (Formerly called "Chipmunk" chick)
She looks exactly like her mama "Noodle"

.... and here's their younger sister - still called "Blue Orp" LOL

@Faraday40 they're gorgeous! Can't wait to see chick pics!

Speaking of chick pics, I had 19 quail hatch yesterday!

And that peeping in the cabinet was an early hatched poult, running around the bottom and a half zipped and stuck royal palm. They're all in the Hatcher now lol

I have ANOTHER broody! I already have 1 chicken and two turkeys raising babies...I don't need anymore!

Heading to a Poultry Show tomorrow! They not only have judging, but lots of vendors with chicks, ducks, hatching eggs, etc! Can’t wait! My incubator is ready for some fun or interesting hatching eggs! I already have some BLRW eggs plus my colorful mixes! Hoping for some Swedish Flowers or some really really deep chocolate Marans eggs!
