My incubator is home-made, They work great! Well, im in my first hatch.. So..

My incubator is home made too. I bought it from ebay from a man who raises turkeys and has been making his own incubators for a long time. It will be my first experience at hatching.

Good luck Stephanie. Just went through my first hatch. Racked my nerves! I am ready to do it again!! I don't think I would have made it without hatching buddies on here. My last chick will come out of the bator here in a while. Clean it up, set it up, and probably be ready to set 22 eggs and what ever eggs I get today. Let's have fun

My eggs are supposed to arrive today in the mail. So if they do and have a chance to settle overnight. I'll be setting tomorrow.

I can't wait. 30 Blue Laced Red Wyonettes!!!!! I just love the look of that bird.

All in my Little Giant so here's to 21 sleepless, nervous days. Last bast worked out to about 68% hatch from shipped eggs for my first try didn't think that was too bad.

That's not bad at all! Congrats.

I'll be setting my first eggs on Tuesday (5th). Is that close enough?

One thing that I am noticing....you guys are hatching a ton of eggs!

What do you do with all the chickens? I have 7, 10 week old chickens, 2 Buff Orpington chicks, a partidge silkie chick, and a Mille fluer Bantam D'Uccle chick. It was like pulling teeth to convince my husband that we NEEDED to hatch some nice quality silkies for our daughter to show. I would love to have chickens coming out of my ears! I am debating whether or not to rehome my EE Cockerel to make room for more silkies...that way I can keep 4 instead of 2. I love chicken math, it's the best.

Anybody Set eggs today?

 

[JakeBremer]

Im not setting today, But i sell the chicks. And keep a few.
