I would have posted this earlier, but I wasn't home to do so... my eggs arrived today!!!!

Thank you Miss_Jayne!!!!!

I guess we'll hope for tomorrow.

My boys are constantly running to the door, hoping it's the postman.

It'll be like Christmas when they get here!

 

[ChevygirlBeth]

Lol... that's what it was like when I got home and checked the mail... except it was me acting like it was Christmas!

Now I'm getting nervous! I've never hatched any eggs before, so this is new to me. I keep reading all the hatching threads to make sure I understand what I'm doing. I have the incubator plugged in so I can get it to a fairly consistant temperature and humidity. Of course the two thermometers I have are not agreeing! The mercury one says 96 and the digital one says 100.

Beth it is time for you to head to the incubating and hatching thread!!!!

 

[ChevygirlBeth]

I will! Lol... I've been reading in there a lot this week. Once Mahonri is ready we will have a thread about hatching the eggs from Miss_Jayne.

I'm in Utah at present, but my 14 year old keeps me informed on the cell phone. He has the bator running at 99.5 with humidity at 38%. That should be just right to put them in once they get there and have sat for a few hours.

which bator do you have?

you can do this. it's cake work! it'll be an adventure!


Mahonri, i seriously wonder where you eggs are! aaargh!

 

[ChevygirlBeth]

It's a Little Giant. Temp and humidity has stayed steady all day. I have the mercury thermometer at like 99 and the digital at 102. I was going to pick up a third thermometer today, but I totally forgot.

Mahonri, did your eggs get there today?

"I want those free eggs!" ???? LOL. You must get pictures of those chicks when they hatch and put them on this thread!

 

[Indiana hens]

That was the greatest idea ever! The only way it could get any better is if it was a monthly event!

Would also be great if was for turkey eggs! TURKEY EGGS!!
