My first Incubator...........

[aurorarose25]

Yeah.. I am so happy I ordered my first incubator and am anxiously waiting for it in the mail. I was so excited about it I almost forgot that I never used one before and don't have any eggs to test it.

Is it possible if someone can donate some eggs to my little hatcher??? Any kind will do, either chicken or duck which ever is easiest.

Please let me know I am soooo EXCITED!!!!!!

You might want to try local eggs first, hatch rates are usually better. Here is a sight with good information also. http://gallus.tamu.edu/Extension%20publications/b6092.pdf
Good luck.

Join the Arizona Chicken thread here and find someone with some local eggs...they are the best to start with...I would give you some but I am up north in AZ

If you can't find any locally then I can send you some

I do a pretty good job at wrapping so they should arrive safe and sound. Let me know.

I am part of the thread, I just don't know how to navigate it yet. Any suggestions?

What kind of eggs do you have? How many could you spare?

I have Barred Rocks, Silkies, Bantam Barred/Black Cochins, Standard Blue Black and Splash Cochins, Silver spangled Hamburg hen with a silkie rooster. So the question is what are you looking for?

ETA: I have Serama's that are laying but they just started laying and I haven't tested fertility yet and my EE's are broody so that is out of the question, sorry!

Just saw this thread and wanted to say that I just got a dozen silkie eggs from Barnyard and she sent me 18!!! They were all packaged very well and none were broken! She did any awesome job!

They are in the bator now

I have Black Cochins and Mixed Guineas...I would mail down to Mesa from here
