November hatch along, anyone?

[Matieus27]

I am sure others have done something similar but when I have hens old enough and they go broody I’m going to put a thermometer with temperature and humidity probes in the nest underneath them and use a camera to record 24/7 so that I can use that data to set my incubation to mimick that of a hen. Because hens are way better incubators than us I want to see the differences in what they do compared to what we do and see if I can come closer to mimicking how a hen incubates. This project is at least six months out though.

Good luck with your hatch! I also added some eggs. Should hatch on Dec 1st. Marans, CCL and Ameraucanas

Good luck to you as well, hope you get some peeps to take care of. Also Thank You I will need the luck with shipped eggs, they look good but the mailman delivered them after I had asked them not to. They screwed up they are normally good with stuff.

I heard that shipped quail eggs, do better than chicken eggs. Don’t know how much truth their is to that. Just what I have heard.

Very true.

is this the first of the bunch?

 

[pennyJo1960]

I believe it is the first for them how exciting

I’m so excited right now so I take the lid off my incubator every day because the way I have it figured the hen comes of the nest once every day I keep it off for 15 minutes or so well I decided to candle my seconds set of eggs this would be first candling and they are shipped so I expected to see some yolkers but they are ALL developing so as of right now I have 15 eggs that are developing!!!!!!
