I do but I have to tell you My first time hatching was a nightmare-shoot I think I candeled at day 2! Dorkwad! I played with that dang bator so much it was no wonder nothing hatched 40+ eggs and not 1. I didnt give up and kept hatching-with each hatch I got more confident and hatched out more chicks with each set. I still get nervous-I still get antsy but so does everyone else Im just way more relaxed. I check my bator before I leave for work ( temp) and tweak a little if needed and leave. Check it when I get home and before bed-thats it-forget it and walk away...unless its candle day or hatch day-then Im bouncing

Well I'm glad I caught this early, before it got up to it's temp. At least the humidity is falling fast and (down to 60 now) and they had only been in there a couple hours.

I bet you were very disappointed with nothing hatching out of 40. I'm glad you kept it up. I think once this one levels out I'll be better about leaving it alone. I hope.

I'm telling my husband to slap my hands if I try to candle before it's time!

Oh I fried them-I kept them in almost the whole time stil the smells started then chucked them:-( yah..It was bad but thats how you learn I guess?? You will get more patient with every hatch trust me...

Since I just got them downloaded, I figured I'd put him on here. This gorgeous guy/girl was hatched from sonew's olive eggs.

This guy/girl was hatched from sonew's tiny little white eggs

And this one too from sonew's little white eggs

And this one not sure where he/she came from lol if it was sonew's or a different batch!! but it was from a small white eggs like the the ones the black one came from!

Who knows I guess I should have marked them. The silkie does look like a white silkie. All of her skin is black, skin under her feathers, feet, beak! I love her wish they'd look like that forever. Your welcome.!!!! Thanks for the eggs

Just an update. We are good. Tweaking the temp not to go to 102.2 or 102.3, humidity holding at 34. Dropped to 24 and I added a teaspoon of water and brought it back up. Bator is working like a charm! Whew! Have not turned yet. Waiting the 24 hours for the non injured eggs, 72 hours for the injured ones.
