I have 6 due to hatch on the 31st and I set 24 more yesterday. I'm probley crazy to attempt a barnyard mix and staggered hatch. This is my first time, but I'm willing to give it a whirl. The 6 are looking good when I candle them, as far as I can tell. I don't have an auto turner so I hand turn and my husband and granddaughters help me to remember. I plan on giving half to my father-in-law who went in halfs for the incubator. This is so fun!

We are setting 18 eggs tomorrow. Most of them are Ameracauna/Austerlorp crosses. I am trying to see if I can get green eggs daily using this cross. The others are full Ameracauna. I can not spell either of those names. Sooooo, sorry if I misspelled them. These chickens were passed down to me by family members.

OK, I am with ya.

I set eggs at 11 PM on Sat. 7/18, and added more 48 hours later. I am sure this will mess up everything, right? Well, I am gonna try it. This is my first time. The first eggs are from the local Farmer's Market. The next dozen came from a friend at work. I think most of them are Rhode Island Reds, but possibly a few surprises, I was told. We'll see!

All advise appreciated!

My bator has been pretty steady at 99.9 and humidity at around 40%. Does that sound ok?

Hey guys I am going to set some eggs this weekend for the first time ever. I made the Miss Prissy chic o bator. I am excited. I can find anywhere info on if I should remove the egg carton on day 18 or just leave it in. I will be turning the whole bator so the eggs will be in an eggs flat. I didnt know if the could get out if you leave them in the flat. I have seen pics only of the hatching on a flat surface. What do you think?
