im thinking about doing a practice hatch can i hatch only one or do i need to have more then one???

You need more than 1. Most people dont get a 100% hatch rate. If you only do 1 egg it might not hatch and you will not know if you did something wrong or it was the egg. I would do like 5 or 6. Your chances of getting a chick are higher then.

Well, if you get any more next spring/summer think of me. I can probably convince him to let me have a few chicks next year, but I really like being married, so I should probably not take any this year. 

k. If u decide you want any just let me know i hatch all the time!

Bumming again. Lost another chick today. Ugh...

On a lighter note, beautiful babies pip!

All six turkey eggs are pipped!

My first time trying to hatch turkeys.

Pip, if all those babies disappear some night, I'm probably the culprit! They're beautiful.

what most of us do is pick a day of the week that is your best hatch day. For me it is tuesdays. So I collect my eggs, and only set eggs in the incubator on tuesday.

Oh, goodness, this is my first time using one and I love it! The chicks sleep quietly all night and I don't have the light on all hours, nor do I have to worry about the fire hazard! The babies also seem to be less sensitive to being away from the heat for longer periods of time. I'm never switching back to a heat bulb again!

Mine was a Christmas gift, too.
