March 2018 Hatch-a-long

[Tbird84]

I am setting some eggs on Monday, I can’t wait! This is my first hatch.

Awesome! It's alway eggciting the first time. Well, anytime. Lol.

I did the first candling and everyone of them is developing. I had thrown in 3 extra to make up for initial early losses, due to being a homemade 'bator. Now I have 15 just trucking along. Guess we'll see what happens the next 2 wks.

good T-bird!

I put mine in incubator, waterbottles to hold heat, I made sure the eggs do not touch edges of incubator. I am not turning but tilting incubator back and forth. cartons have holes in bottom and edges.

The plan was; build an incubator, work out the kinks, try some quail eggs.
I got as far as step one before my son came home with chicken eggs from one of his friends. The rosters were doing what rosters do when they are not crowing so I'm assuming the eggs are fertile.
5 eggs were laid on 2/9 and stored at about 67 degrees and rotated a few times a day. 7 were laid on 2/18. The dozen went in the incubator at 1600 on Sunday, February 18.

I'll be setting some eggs when my daughter comes home from school today, so still a good 2 hours and my very first ever campine eggs are going in the incubator! I'm soooo excited. Especially since i have some gold campine eggs in there and here in Belgium they are still very rare, so i hope those hatch! There are 30 eggs going in the incubator. Mix of silver and gold campines.
