Well, long story short put 11 nice mail-order eggs in the incubator at 1300 today, and everything is going fine. Had the incubator preheated and ready, so when the eggs got here in they went after sitting at room temp for 2 hours.
Anybody else late hatching?
This is my first mail-order/somebody elses eggs hatch.
 
Yes, I still have eggs hatching out. That and I had to start taking the eggs away from my chickens since they all wanted babies so badly, yet there was no way their house could hold that many little ones. But I'm still incubating to this day. Shouldn't be that big of a problem as long as there's the right accomodations, or some very accepting hens in the flock. I was letting some hens hatch their young out naturally, others were just terrible mothers, hence my incubators.
 
I candled them last night at 9 days and all where clear - no dark rings or dark clouds. Some had very visible embryos and some had faint veins. Jeez, I hope all 11 don't hatch! I was counting on 3 or 4
