My Eggs arrived!! Thanks Lisa

Hey Lisa,
My eggs got here safe and sound, wrapped individually, and so well protected. They are soo small, almost like a pullet egg. I decided to just buy a bator. It's not the warmest in the coop right now. What are the numbers on the eggs stand for? S31, 32, etc....?? This is my first time doing this. I know one needs water and the heat, just from reading other threads. I'm marking the calander. Thanks for the bakers dozen.

Hi Jada!
Glad they made it! The S is for Silkie and the # is the date they were laid.
What kind of incubator did you get?
The basics are 101.5 degrees at egg height for a 'no-fan' bator and 99.5 for a unit with a fan.
Humidity 45% - 50% for the first 18 days, then increase to 65% til they hatch (hopefully on Day 21).

Good luck!
Lisa

It's a still air incubator. I picked up at our local runnings store.
