Thanks, Renee, for the details on the marans eggs. I'm still reading the posts playing catch up.

Hint ## One way to really get a good control on your temp when using an LG incubator is to get yourself an old dimmer knob or stove knob and superglue it to the adjustment peg on the incubator. It allows you to make much more slight adjustments with a good idea of just what, exactly, you did. The thing that always kills me about the silly white pegs is you have no idea how much it really gave when you touched it...and then you have to go back and check on it again and again...it's brutal.

Brutal. Very brutal. I check every couple hours and thru the night if I have had to adjust anything!! Well worth it though.

Lucky duck!

What day are the eggs I sent due. I'm antsy and want to see how many hatch. You didn't by any chance mark them different by which were in the container and which weren't? Be nice to see which traveled best. Hope ya get a ton of chicks.

I so agree with that! One small bump can send the temperature waaay past 100 degrees! I almost lost a batch of shipped Araucana eggs that way at 110 degrees! Thankfully they survived and I will have to lock them down in my Hova bator on Monday. I use the LG for incubating, and the Hova Bator for hatching, and I have had a 100 percent hatch that way!

I am waaaay behind lol. I wonder how Mahonri keeps up, I said I was in yesterday, now I'm already on the list, it must be very hard to keep up with every post.
