Just got my 16 eggs in. They're going to be all mixes. The eggs are from my own little backyard flock of 2 white leghorns, 1 tetra tint, 2 red sex links and an unknown pale orange=ish hen. The rooster for all is a gorgeous Partridge Plymouth Rock.

Mine are a barnyard mix that I got from a guy I know. This is my first broody also and boy she is ticked off

. She is some kind of white bantam mix and the rest are production reds. She is top of the pecking order already so when she goes out to eat all of my red hens scatter. Its like the parting of the red sea! Its so funny.

Yes this is my first time! I'm new to chickens in general and brand new to incubating!

Coat the hole and crack with wax. Its worth a try.

My tracking number finally came. The order from MPC left the hatchery on the 26th. Coming from Arkansas, so my guess is Monday. Also getting some local barnyard mixes on August 1.

So, I'll have:
7 Red Cochin- set 7/26
12+ assorted breeds- set 7/30
12 mixed- set 8/1

Using a LG still air with automatic egg turner. Dry incubation (which is currently 48% humidity)

What is everyone else's setup?

I'm using a Hovabator 1602 still air, hand turning. I used this one for my last hatch as well, and got 7 out of 11 hatched and thriving at almost 4 weeks old now.
