(PICS@POST #1)Starting a dozen eggs Sunday, Oct 2...any joiners?

[Lesalynn]

Gonna have at least a dozen eggs going in on Sunday. So far I have 8 bearded splash Silkie, 3 of my EE's, and 1 brown leghorn mix. Hopefully my 3 laying EE's will add a few more by then. UPDATE: Five chics have hatched so far! All three EEs and two Silkies. Here's a couple pics of the Silkies (fourth try and finally got a couple to hatch!!!) One is a real light silver, the other just a little darker with some golden-brown mixed in. They are just so beautiful!!!! Thank you so much, sneakers!!

I wasn't going to hatch any more eggs untill spring but you silkie fanatics have corrupted me

I ended up winning a BYC Auction for a dozen silkie eggs that will be delivered today

I am blaming all of you

That's wonderful!

Well, as of 5 pm yesterday, I have 13 eggs in my bator... 8 splash Silkies, 4 EEs, and 1 Brown Leghorn mix (3/4 BL, 1/4 Columbian Wyandotte). Hoping my other EE lays today, and I can add another of hers. Temp holding at an even 100, and humidity at 40-45.

I'm sooo jealous! I candles my 8 silkie eggs yesterday and looks like I

have only 3 that are viable.

I set 14 White Showgirl Eggs on Saturday the 1st.

I also have 2 dozen eggs I set at the same time for my friend. AND, I have 15 Buff Laced Polish that came today and will go in tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great hatch

Oh good! I'm totally new to this, and I am in a mild panic because my best looking Blue Splash egg has a hairline crack in it!

You can't see it unless you candle it, but I am wondering if I should keep it and try to fix it or if I should just pitch it.... Anyone have any advice?
