Well, last night was day 8 of my first hatch in the Brinsea incubator. I started out with 27 eggs (12 BLRW from Mike & 15 shipped Basque Hens), but due to a major boo-boo on my part, I only set 24 of them. I put my 2 open boxes of eggs down while I was doing final prep only to find that my 2 Bengal cats decided to climb in the tiny boxes with the eggs. They cracked 2 of the BLRW and 1 of the BH eggs.Boy I have to watch those 2 carefully!
Now the good news! Nine of the 10 remaining BLRWs appears to be developing fine (1 was a quitter), and 10 of the 13 shipped BH eggs look good (1 quitter and 2 clears). Isn't that pretty good for travelling eggs? This is my first time incubating, so I'm not really sure. Even the BLRWs went for quite a drive! Crossing my fingers that most of the remaining eggs make it. When should I candle again?
Sorry to hear about those cracked eggs. Wishing you good luck on your hatch.
