Official Christmas Hatch! c'mon and join

[sangel4you]

WAHOOOO! They're in! It held at 45% humidity and 102 degrees for a few hours now so I decided to put them in and give it a go! Temp dropped to 97 after being open a few minutes and putting the eggs in but I suspect it will go back up shortly so Christmas weekend here we come! 15 RIR x White Leghorn eggs!

thumbless, sekinkead, and sangel4you ... Welcome to the Christmas Hatch party! This is gonna be loads of fun! I will be absent the next couple days or so, as I am heading out to family Christmas parties ... traveling 300 miles from MO to Iowa. Hopin' for decent driving weather. I won't have computer access, and will surely go through withdrawal!

totally didn't plan it this way, but i set eggs at 1:30 am on the 5th... which puts me... technically the 26? but... yeah....

rofl.. i totally didn't even think about hatch date, just knew they had been sitting htere resting from their trip for 1.5 days already.. lol.. get those puppies in there....

i have a turken mix in there.. i'm half hoping htat one doesn't take.. lol.. but i'm being a good sport and leaving it in.. it was a surprise egg with my designer train eggs.. lol... watch it be the strongest chick of the bunch.. rofl.. i'm sure my kids will love it...

I set some last Sunday, 10 eggs, and candled today, 3 were duds but the rest have tons of veins, mass and airspace room! Yee! DH is excited too, he helped me build the incubator and we have been fiddling with it to get stable temps, it swung pretty hard there the first couple of days, I was worried my eggs weren't going to make it. But today, I even saw a heartbeat or movement! I added 15 more mixed eggs today because I was sure mine weren't doing anything! So it's going to be a hatchy Christmas (hopefully) after all!
