What bator are you using? I'd have to attack to get that many.

i'm using a hovabator 1602n still air incubator, upgraded myself with a pc fan to make it forced air, with auto turners, max hold is 120 eggs.

I think I am in... unfortunately I cant remember when I put my eggs in the bator because I forgot to buy a calendar to mark off. ... I also didnt bother to count how many I put in ... I just pulled out the tray and filled the bottom...

Am I naughty?

 

[TheRealTimShady]

lol, i forget all the time how long they been in, now that all i do is put water in it it gets forgotten about easily.

I use Google calendar for setting eggs date, lockdown, & hatching, otherwise I'd never keep it straight.

currently on lockdown, i didn't candle to see what was what...mainly b/c i don't care lol. Hoping some from my breeder cage hatch, but they just started laying as i was collecting so rpobably not. Holding steady at 99.5 & 67%

hoping to get at least 20 birds(as i have an order for 20 birds and 48 eggs on easter for a Chef friend of mine for his easter menu)

 

[TheRealTimShady]

wahaha, it has begun! first one hatched, with at LEAST 20 with pips

1 hour later, 13 are out, got what looks to be a white, a tux, maybe some reds and some wilds. hopefully i'll get 3x that number to hatch.
