Were yours from spirit lake ID? I will follow you too! Always wanted blue marans but was going for the GS, and the AC. This lady read my mind. I hope they will be "sisters!"

I might join! I have to get one more peice for my incubator and install it, but after that I want to set some eggs. This will be my first incubator hatch! I can’t wait!

My plan right now is to set on the 13th. They shouldn’t hatch in January, but I hope I can join anyways.

If you set in January you are in!!!

I have to keep my eggs up right for a few days since they were shipped. Now some people say egg cartons are okay if you put a hole in the bottom, so I did that, plus hole punched all around, I hope that is better!

They will go into this homemade incubator first few days, then move to an octagon 40.

I was setting up my eggs in the oct 40 incubator, I had some eggs I was ready to put in that one, I set up the separators and put in the cardboard tubes at the ends so the eggs stay still. When I put in the last card board tube on the end, I heard a tish sound as the cardboard tube expanded slightly, I cringed hoping it was just the sound of paper, but I looked and one of my pavloskaya eggs got dented, I put nail polish on it, but it is pretty cracked. my dumb fault.

It is in a separate incubator, homemade away from any egg.

That’s awful! Hopefully it will be ok!

First time setting eggs. Hope we have a good hatch. Cuckoo Maran cockerel over Crested Cream Legbar; CCL/welbar; Star Red; Welsummer; Golden wyandotte; Cuckoo Maran. Witnessed the little Black Silkie cockerel on top of the White Crested Black Polish. Interested in when they end up looking like.

Neat!

I just candled my first batch of cream legbars 18/19 are fertile and developing. Many of them have misshapen air cells from shipping, but I'm doing everything I can and so far so good My silkie eggs should be here tomorrow. I'll be hatching in a separate incubator due to my staggered hatch this time.
