I set mine today, so ours will be hatching at the same time

What breed are you incubating?

I set 4 BCM, 5 Blue Wheaten Ameraucana, 1 Olive Egger and 7 Silkies. I ordered them from fowlrus.com (fellow BYCer). They where shipped in cool polyfoam. I am hoping for a good hatch. My first hatch ever was last month. I set 16 eggs and had 8 hatch so 50% is not to bad for mail order eggs. I am so addicted to hatching eggs! My friend is letting me borrow her Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance, so you pretty much set it and forget it.

I decided to watch paint dry today because it was more exciting then watching eggs incubate......

It seems like I should be doing "something" other then waiting, I can only check the temp and humidity so many times an hour

This is gonna be a long month...
