Set eggs today

[olefarmersdaughter]

I don't know why I did this, this late in the year but no turning back now. Acquaintance gave me a mixer of turkin, barred rock, black star, buff orpington, americana, new hampshire. So I will be curious want kind of mixture I'll get.

I am giving my broody fertile eggs for the very first time today. I know it is the wrong season but it is still 80 degrees where I am so I am just going to go for it. This is my first time try to hatching anything and I'm a little nervous. Love to hatch along with you.

I hope I get at least one naked neck hen. The cabins we stay at in Jamaica (almost) every Feb. has a flock of naked necks. It will make me feel like I'm back on the island even those times we can't make it there.

I set 12 eggs in my incubator on the 13th. 9 chicken,2 pekin,1 mallard for test i was trying to get my homemade incubator up to correct temps.My temps were 100 and down to 90.I cracked a egg i thought was no good but it was. So added 9 pekin&9 mallard eggs last night.Now that my temps are staying steady. So ill hatch with ya.

This is my first time using a auto turner a friend loaned me. It feels weird not having to be "hands on". Kinda nice tho'.....

That is my goal in a couple years to build a bigger homemade incubator so i can add several turners. Its acording how much i like hatching

Hes suppose to be mating the buff orp hen and lav hen lol i had a goose egg incubating that die on day 18. My broody silkie is sitting on 9 of my own eggs this is her 4th attempt as rats ate the first two time last year and a hose running in there coop drowned the eggs she was sitting on.
