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.
 
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.
