100 egg incubator...OMG..hmmmm how many chickens could I get from that?? I would love to have a lg. cabinet one, but I know I would get carried away. I have the syrofoam Hova Bator with fan and turner and I can't seem to control myself. Once I got the hang of it...thanks to the help from here..I can not stop...tell me this will stop..

Ok guys...my turn. Yesterday evening I came home to 1 little one pipping out the shell..before I went to bed around 10 it was out and walking around inside the incubator..I woke up this morning and I had a total of 3....I went to work and came home this evening and I have what looks like maybe 10..I was told not to open the incubator yet for fear of shrink wrapping the others..I will go to bed and see what I have in the morning....

I have 2 styrofoam incubators one with fan and turner one without.
I have 2 old Galvanized 100 egg Brower incubators, only one holds temp correctly......so I use it as a hatcher, when I have filled the 2 styrofoams to capacity~!

as for stopping, I have decided that until I I can see how many are going to hatch from the next few hatches
Due the 4th (12)
the 9th (3), and the 10th (31). That I should not set/hold anymore....

I have a lady interested in buying some chicks, though she will not say for sure how many, what breed or when......lol
So I think for now, that my hatching will end on July 10th ......(at least for a week or two)

Then I will think about ordering different breeds than what I have.

Congrats everyone! Your chicks look great! Glad to see the reports & pics still coming in.

BriteChicken, Noncentzter, clothdiaperingmom: Good job on your hatches. Lovely pics!

saridout: Enjoyed the broody hatch!

D'Angelo N Va.: Is dreaming of a 100 egg incubator now! Happy to see you did so well with your hatches. Cool!

PandoraTaylor: You've always got something interesting going on in you bators. Will be watching for you again after your July 10th hatch.

Thanks everyone for sharing your hatches & for the lovely chicks. Anyone who loves little chickies, like me, enjoys the pics & feels like you could just reach out & hold them; the pictures are so vivid & real looking.

Isn't the BYC just great. I feel very luck to have found it & have learned & shared so much with others. What I've learned over time on the BYC & with the easy search button, continues to be a great help in improving & maintaining the care of my flock.

Since it's July now, check out the thread 'JULY HATCH-A-LONG come join in' https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=362278&p=1 . Then there'll be one every month after that for the rest of the year. We look forward to seeing you all there.
