I have 70 eg gs in my bator right now. Had 81 but pulled out the duds.
So we will see how many chicks I will get. I normally dont hatch so many... but folks rather want chicks vrs hatching eggs and gladly been paying the extra for them. This is my 3rd batch now and a sold out immediately. Only have a few chicks left (roos) from last batch and a few keeper pullets to watch and see how they mature.
I also have 2 different shipments of eggs I bought that im expecting next week sometime. 40 eggs from 1 seller and a doz+ from another. Those will go under my broodies in the coop vrs a bator for a better hatch rate as I never use a bat or on shipped in eggs. Not worth the chance to me for bator mishaps with expensive eggs.
And now for the part ya was wondering about while reading my post...
I have calico and millie cochin bantams. Both in my bator and the ones I am shipping in.
