I used a very expensive Camera that has been out of production for about 8 years now.

- The key is to have a camera that can do macros. Still, as you can see, mine focused on the skin of my hand not the egg though. Next time. . . I'll get a better photo.

All shipped eggs from BYC members, yea!

Just call me crazy!!!

YAY! I'm so excited!!!

I just set 8 silkie x cochin eggs today! So they would hatch.. May 15th I believe!
I can't wait!!! How am I supposed to wait 21 days for these fluffy butts? Surely you guys feel my pain! Lol, please help me to wait!

Oh and by the way, it's my 2nd time hatching. I'm using my own eggs from the chickens from my first hatch!

5 white silkie hens and 1 blue splash bantam cochin roo. Well he's not really blue anymore lol.. he's got some brown in him now. I can't wait to see what I get.

Oh! And good luck everyone!

Count me in. I am calibrating and stabilizing the 'bator now and hope to set Monday late or Tuesday early. Mail order SLW's and Red and Black Stars....so things could be all in or all out. Eggs due to arrive via Mr. Postman on Monday.

Old Farmer's Almanac says the optimal hatch days for May are the 18th, 19th, 25th and 26th, so figure your set days accordingly if you're into hatching by the moon/star signs (supposedly for hardy chicks and vigor). That would be a Monday or Tuesday setting for this upcoming week....

Good luck everybody!
