I think I do. I wanted to try hatching store bought fertile eggs, but I can't seem to find them. Our local whole foods store is too far away to convince anyone it's worth it.
 
I pulled six eggs from my flock supply: three LF, one medium sized, and two bantam, all six green. They will be one-on-one tutors for my six turkey eggs. :p

Of course it all depends on actual hatching. I know there's no doubt of fertility in my flock. When I gathered eggs this morning, one of my Milkie pullets (BCM/Silkie mix) is squiring nine brand new chicks. :yiipchick
 
I candled my duck eggs and had to toss all but one. I can't help but wonder what I'm doing wrong. I don't think it's my incubation methods, but I AM starting to think it has something to do with Ducky not being fed right.
 
I plan to candle my cdh eggs tonight I have 11 turkey eggs. I also have my first batch ever of turkey eggs and marans eggs going into lockdown on wed, Im so excited

OMG!!! I'm having another of those, nothing is hatching streaks!!! I have duck eggs coming and I need them to hatch. I need my turkeys to hatch. My hatch was due yesterday and nothing happpening and in 3 different incubators. I went through Rene's cheat sheet. Nope! Didn't miss anything. I've been getting so many good reports on my eggs hatching after shipping and this is the second one in a month where nothing is going on. I'm about to pull my hair out!!!

I was getting that all winter. My eggs hatched great for everyone but me. But I know what my problem was. We are remodeling the house & have walls out upstairs so temps were fluctuating by 30F or more in a 12 hr period between day & night. We had 4 heaters & the furnace running & still couldn't keep temps stable in the house. They are hatching much better now that it has warmed up outside & temp inside are more stable.
