I have 27 cayuga duck eggs so I will take an extra week. I love having hatching buddies - it makes the weeks/days go by faster! good luck everyone!

We are going on vacation next Sat. I will candle on Friday night to pull out the duds. The best part is that I will not be here to check on them constantly. The Genesis is very stable and I have been dry hatching, seems to work great. They will be ready for lock down when we come home.

Is it too late to join? I just loaded the incubator tonight!

I have 28 bantam eggs... mixed breeds
and 14 production reds... nothing fancy.

Some of the bantam eggs are a tad old... I was really hoping the hens would go broody and do things on their own, but gave up on that. The red eggs are all from the last 2 days so at least those are plenty fresh.

I am pretty new at this, so I'm still learning! I did two batches in 2010 and nothing since, so this will be plenty exciting for me!

I hope everyone has good hatches!!!

I set last night! Not sure of the exact numbers, but I put around 55 English Black split to Lavender Orpington and 65 BLRW in the Sportsman for its first run! Adding some Blue and Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas tomorrow after I pick up the eggs.
