those were advertised as blue black splash copper marans? Probably alligators (eBay) but I can see I think two of the 6 are Good

Day 8? I agree the air cells look a little big. Might need to raise the humidy a hair?

I couldn’t help myself and bought some eggs to try out, then realized some of my own are fertile... so everything went in for its inaugural run. Lol fingers crossed. But I was actually not expecting this many to be good

When I bought my incubator in may it started with about 12 eggs and very quickly ended up at about 40(all from my birds) I had to have a new brooder built and everything! I think I had about 32 hatch.

That’s what I was thinking, added some water. I have the pellet stove going all the time And a humidifier, and several aquariums, but they just see, so big.. so, water added! Hopefully not too much.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Hatching is addictive!

Peeps can be addictive no matter how we get them

Ok, I Know I should have done this weeks ago. Only just now doing the salt test on the hygrometer in the bag. I put 1tsp salt, and wet it (didn’t soak it) does this look right? Does it matter how big the bag is (before I waste 6h of my life on this?) lol
