Setting 9/14 Who's with me...

I'm getting ready to put 50 eggs into lockdown tomorrow, BOs, BRs, Blue Rocks, RIRs and Dels and another 50 of the same breeds going into lockdown on Oct. 18th.

As of this morning, I am at about 25% hatched. I have 6 in the brooder and doing well. I had one that zipped, but never left the shell. It looked very big for the shell it was in, maybe humudity or just too big. Not sure why it could not just stand up. The egg right next to it hatched about the same time with no issues. I was at work, so I missed the chance to help out.

All the eggs that have hatched at this point were in cartons. I have about 17 more eggs left, a couple with pips. I hope to make it to 50%, but I am not sure. This was my first attempt, so I am proud of whatever I get.

I have hatched so far: 2 Sumatras, 2 Blue Andalusians, 1 Bantam Cochin, 1 Jersey Giant (maybe mixed).
