Set eggs this morning. November 2, 2011

I put in 12 Buckeyes that I received from adoptapitbull.

I hoping this hatch goes good, the two RIR I hatched from hot2pot need some friends. Good Luck everyone!
 
I just got confirmation that my friend is bringing me 6 fertilized eggs to round out my incubator today so 42 it is! I've been making a real effort to make sure my flock is as diverse as possible.

I also sat and watched 2 week old chicks sparring. Definitely some roosters for the tamale pot in there.

Welcome everyone. This will be fun.

What are you hatching?

You never know around here! I did get some Ameraucana eggs in the mail, those went in. Easter Eggers, Buckeyes, RIR etc. I put more in every few days .:-D
 
I had to candle and I'm excited to say I'm seeing some development.

The last two times I incubated I just laid the eggs on their sides and rolled them over 3 times a day, this time I'm using an egg carton to hold the eggs in, big end down. I'm hoping I get better results with this.

Oh, nope I didn't type it wrong, just learning at the eggs expense. So I need to put the big end up and the pointy end down? I just figured that they would just grow to fit better that way, but thanks I'll flip them when it's time to swap sides later. Thanks!
