I hear ya there - I now have 7 broodies and two with chicks less than a week old. They have all my silkie eggs and they NEVER go uncovered. Some one is always waiting for another hen to take a "poo break" then the sneaky little so-n-so's steal any uncovered eggs. I think it's even funnier when they come back and go digging underneath each other to see what they can get back.

do you candle them all? how do you do that without losing heat and humidty?

Hi, forum! I started some guinea eggs this morning, too. Here's a pic of mine in my little R-Com. Get ready to laugh once you've seen what 10 dozen look like.

That's right ... I've got three.

It's no 10 dozen but hey, it'll be fun too! Good luck to everyone ... I'm sure I'll be back with plenty of questions on the forum. Last hatch was June 12 and I lost 2 of the three eggs right at hatch because of humidity problems combined with first-time ignorance.

Now I'm older and wiser. Good luck, all!

I started my eggs on the 17th. I have a mixture of eggs that I won from gamebirdsonly and shipped all the way from Utah. This is my first time hatching in an incubator and homemade too.

are you talking to me? LOL! well, since mine is a fridge, i take a whole carton or two out, candle them all, throw the duds out, and put them back in the fridge. basically i act like a momma hen getting off the nest for a minute or so to poop. HAHAAA

. I realy want the silkie eggs to hatch my rooster was taken last nite and my poor hen has no man now. I am so upset he was show quality something dug under his pen and draged him off.
