Hi! I set my first batch of eggs on the 20th. Twelve Delawares, one Dominique, and one Australorp - I think. The non-Delies were extras the breeder threw in for fun. They are in a Hovabator 1588 w/turner and I'm testing out dry hatching. I'm super excited about candling this weekend! I wasn't interested in hatching eggs until one of my Minorcas went broody and hatched three chicks earlier this month. Two didn't make it, but the remaining one is a total ham and going strong. I forgot how much fun chicks were!

Hi all! We are incubating eggs from Lark Rise https://www.backyardchickens.com/u/77672/lark-rise, Set them on 4/15/13 (My daughter's 4th Birthday!) and When we candled on 4/22, we had 9 alive, 3 maybes, and 2 non living (the eggs are a dark olive so it's hard to tell). Since its our first time, we're giving them all at least another week before any eggtopsy... We are so excited!!! Here we go! Hopefully the homemade bator does the trick!
