Any one wouldn't happen to know if there is any hatcheries near Austin, or Bastrop Texas I would rather pick up eggs or chicks then have them shipped

Joining in! I set 16 eggs on August 22: a mix of French wheaten Marans, Wyandottes (silver laced and blue laced buff), and Brahmas (buff and partridge). My incubator is a fan-forced hand-turn Hexabator type. Day 4 candling shows 15 of 16 are developing, despite them being shipped eggs! This is my second hatch.

Aw woke up this morning and ran to the bator. One of the silkie eggs rolled and cracked. I took it out and opened it up, and it wasn't fertile. I guess I wont be having any silkies hatch
Not quite sure why it isn't fertile, but I haven't had the silkies for too long so I don't know thee behavior like I do with my other chickens

 

[what did I do]

I set some green eggs on 8-24 . Can I join you all?

I see you all are adding incubators.

I have a Hova-Bator 2362N with a turner. With 4 dz Ameraucana green eggs. This is my 4th hatch this year.

I added you! I would love to see your Wyandottes! I am hatching a test hatch SLW x RIR before I order shipped SLW eggs.

Well its been 26 hrs since I put my eggs in! Doin good so far, temps staying at 99.5-100 degrees & humidity's staying at 52% pretty much., my dad made a hole in the incubator lol to make it easier to put water into it, so we can add water w/out openining it up now, he put a hole, w/a tube from old aquarium equipment w/a teensy funnel - hehe, I'll go take a pic....

 

[chicksooner]

I had to add a bit of water last night so I candled an egg. All I see is a dark area where the air sac should be. Does that sound normal?

 

[Chucklecluck]

Is that the only dark spot
