[refamat]

Good looking chick pics. Guess I'll have to take some turkey pics. Did loose one chick, 4 eggs were clear out of 12, only one left to make a showing, and one needs to finish zipping it's egg.
Some friend are going to bring some goose eggs over so that will be the next big thing.

Thanks for your help re: 100 F being ok.

Well, just couldn't help myself....I candled. It's day 5 and I could see veins and red blobs with black dots in 4 out of 12 eggs! Yaay!!!!!!! Finally I have the possibility of SOMETHING hatching. This is my second try with an incubator. Had 3 broody hens last year, but nothing survived there either.

Oh, so looking forward to babies.

Hi everyone, my first time incubating
I set 25 eggs 3/4 at 2pm
and 4 fresh this am 3/5
due to hatch 3/26
breed is delaware rooster, with different hens delaware mix, new hampshire, and isa brown, the hens are all excellent layers. so hoping to get some good layers out of this hatch..
oh and 8 silkie eggs

I am using a still air incubator with automatic egg turner

I have delaware mixes in my 'bator right now due to hatch this Friday! Good luck with yours!

NOSEY ME.What is the coffee looking stuff in the cup?

Lockdown starts at 3pm today!

I just weighed/candled everyone and all but two outliers have lost the appropriate amount of weight! The two cochins with weird %'s have perfect aircells though...so I'm thinking something was wonky with my scale during the initial weigh in or...I have no idea.

Here's my system!

Nice system!!! Good luck!!!
