My kids gave me a Hovabator Genesis 1588 for my birthday last month - they gave me an automatic turner, too. So I set 19 eggs on Monday, September 12th - and then today I added another 7 to the bator. The eggs are a combination of hatchery eggs and eggs from private breeders and friends. This is the first time I've ever tried hatching eggs, and I'm excited to see how it goes.
7 Welsummer (from private breeder)
4 EEs (from private breeder)
2 RIR (from Meyer)
2 gold laced wyadotte (from Meyer)
2 barred rock (from Meyer)
3 light brown leghorn (from Meyer)
1 blue/black barred rock (from private breeder/friend)
5 RIR over NH (from private breeder/friend)
I figure October 3rd (Monday) will be day 21 for the first 19 - and then October 5th will be day 21 for the other seven. Between now and then I'll be feverishly working to get a larger coop built!
Anyone else set eggs this week?
