Sounds like your getting the hang of it! Your doing a great job. It is so addictive to see them all hatch.

My wife sent me a text at noon & said she could hear a bunch of peeping coming from the incubator but could only see 4 chicks because the water trays are in the way. Can't wait to get home and take more pics. The Self Blue chicks are really blue and those with feathers on the legs are really cute!! I'm also really happy about the Partridge Cochins!!

No, I plan to sell some of the breeds in whole, some breeds I'll keep, some I'll keep a pair and sell the third. Soon as I know what I'm keeping I'll post what's for sale.

Day #21 - 5:45 PM

The list grows..... (see post #1 to learn who eggs supplier #1 and #2 is)

From egg supplier #1 the following have hatched

Spangle #1, #2, #3
Self Blue #1, #2
Silver Duckwing #1, #2
Belgian Quail D'Anvers #1, #2
Crele #1, #2
Partridge Cochin #1, #2

Self Blue dUccle #1, #2, #3
Black Breasted Red #1
Mille Fluer #1
Buff Cochin #1

From egg supplier #2 the following have hatched

BB Red #1
Crele #1

That makes 24 out of 47, better than a 50% hatch rate so far and remember that these are all eBay eggs that were shipped to me. No bad. There's more to come, some of the remaining eggs have pipped and are in various stages of zipping.

Pics to follow soon.
