Set First Hatch of the Year!

[bigredfeather]

I set 73 eggs last night. First time I fired up the bator this year. I can't believe I have been able to control myself this long.
I set the following:
Buckeyes - 24
BCM - 10
BO - 12
Barnevelder - 8
Light Brahma - 8
Speckled Sussex - 11

The hatching season has begun.

36 Red Sussex and Red Sussex mix- my flock
12 bantam cochin mix- my flock
9 Light/buff Sussex-WalkingWolf
14 bantams- pamperedpoultry
9 hidden eggs- my flock

I had 1 out and a bunch of pips this morning. This is my first hatch ever using only my eggs. I am expecting a much higher hatch rate than I did last year with shipped eggs, but I'm not counting my chickens............ LOL
