Set eggs today.....anyone else?

[rgvchicks]

Both my hens and quails just started laying eggs last weekend and decided to set them. I've heard that pullet eggs is a NO NO, well lets see what happens. I wont buy any more eggs and will start setting whatever I collect every week and set on Sundays. I set 2 dozens of my flock and 60 quail eggs Coturnix and Texas A&M......Quails due on the 21st and Chicks on the 26th.......fingers crossed.......

I set a bunch between yesterday and today (had to let some rest for 24 hours), and will finish setting tomorrow when my other incubator is empty! lol I have a couple stragglers waiting to hatch out.

I have 2 batches of shipped eggs-Black Copper and Blue Marans, Golden Laced Wyandottes, and then I have a dozen mixed from a friends flock of Tolbunt Polish, Breda, and something else, and I added a bunch of frizzles from my flock. I think I have like 58 total? lol..unless I decide to add more of mine to fill up the other incubator. I have a hatching problem.
