It's been a long time since I set eggs. Any local store with peeps is selling out each shipment the first day. A friend expressed wanting a few Cream Legbars. Having discovered a small pile I gathered up the mix of Cream Legbar and Reds ( I only have a Cream Legbar rooster) I set them in cartons and collected fresh blue eggs only for the rest of that week. I could not find my Brinsea Octogon 20 ( I fear husband took part to the dump) Ordered a new one. Using a new digital Little Giant incubator 11300 with turner I set the eggs. The temp held well in the new incubator. I had marked the "found" eggs and left the fresh ones alone. when it came time for lock down I kept the marked eggs in the Little Giant and and moved the unmarked to my Octogon 20. Set a wet sponge in each incubator for increased humidith and let her buck so to speak. It's been 48 hours and I have a so, so hatch. I did not candle the eggs so I can't way how many fertile eggs were in the incubator. There are 3 hatched with 7 still "waiting in the Brinsea of the unmarked eggs. The marked eggs in the little Giant have 5 hatched. One is from the brown eggs and four appear to be blue. Not sure yet on the auto sexing. I'm leaving them alone for now. Not too bad for setting up a hatch on the run and questionable eggs.
It’s only day 20 so keeping my fingers crossed for more soon.
