Here are the BCM's I got from Keara (these are not her breeding stock though), I have no experience with this breed but they are pretty and seem sweet. They are still scared of me

but seem to be coming around slowly. We are raising for eggs at the time being, I don't really plan on breeding. Pretty sure they are all pullets, they are about 12 weeks. Let me know if you think otherwise!

How about Lewis and Clark for two males (probably others that traveled w/them) ......... from coast to coast
Maybe Pocahontas for one female .............................

Debbi, I have a room full of the sportsmans and here is what I do. 40-45 until last three days 55-60. Also I had never heard of lock down until coming on BYC and have been using the sportsman 35-40 year or around there. I open the incubator anytime I feel like and do whatever I would like. My eggs all hatch at about the same time frame. Shipped eggs will take a little longer though.

Don, Thanks. Are these all Marans eggs, and are they all set (2 or 3 trays) and hatched on the same day? Do you hatch in the lower end, or do you just stop the turner and hatch in the trays? May I assume these are 1200 model incubators?
