I think I have a good reliable broody, I'm seriously contemplating moving my eggs out of the 'bater and underneath her. So far she's done a good job sticking to the nest. I have a number of dud eggs under her and I thought I'd make the switch tonight.

Hello there...yep, I've got 10 due to hatch on Friday. Hope it goes ok, these were shipped eggs and I've got some saddle air cells. All were live yesterday at last candling so I've got my fingers crossed!
 
Hi! I've got 4 Silkie eggs in the (hatcher) incubator. I had a heck of a time setting it up due to hegrometor not working and it showed 88% for an entire day!
Ran to the world's tiniest WalMart and took what they had. NOW I'm up to 63% and eggs are supposed to go in this evening.

I am leaving 6 more eggs I set on the 23rd in the GOOD incubator. (Not real fancy either, but so far it has been reliable!)

The eggs are from my own new Silkies (I rooster, 3 hens) that I got a month ago.

Isn't this exciting? I hope I don't have any of those gross 'issuses' I've read about. This is only my second hatching ever. The last one a few years ago, cost me several months of trying to 're wild' "Peepers' to the flock.. She thought I was IT and followed me around the yard, lived in a little pink dog crate with a mirror and Teeny Beanie turkey. (I actually put her with a hen shortly after hatching in the incubator with another chick, and they got into trouble, so I had to rescue 'Peepers') It was fun.

We have one broody on day 20 today, so I'm hoping for three babies either tomorrow or the first! :fl

That's an incredible hatch rate for shipped eggs!
What are you hatching?
