Need some hatching buddies - Hatching May 24-28

[doreenmcd]

Just received my incubator on Monday morning and set 12 eggs from my own hens Monday evening. They will be crossed as my roosters are a banty Cochin/Wyandotte mix and a Wyandotte while the hens are Wyandotte, Barred Rock, Buff Orphington and black Sex Links. I'm hoping for a good hatch. The incubator I got is a Miller 9200 with the egg turner, still air. It seems to be accurate in holding the temperature as long as the room temperature is 70° or better but since we only heat with wood by morning it's usually in the 50's and the temperature has dropped a couple tenths. Can the temperature vary from 99.2 to 99.8 and still have a hatch?

Here are some of our babies,, we had 16 when I left, with 14 eggs left and several pips. I'm worried about my Banty egg, it pipped, started to zip but doesn't seem strong at all. Guess we'll see tomorrow, they are actually due tomorrow lol, all these are early birds!

My homemade incubator isn't the best for taking pictures of chicks once they hatch....but I did my best!
