"Springing in the Chicks" 2016 April Hatch-a-Long Hosted by Mike & Sally

I live by that rule as well. I killed all my quail eggs and four chicken eggs for the ehal.

Yes it's the best rule to go by
Just so you don't get too exited saying I have this amount
Of eggs hatching but then only half hatch
 
Hi everyone! I am so excited to be starting our second hatch ever, hopefully on Sunday. Here's the lowdown -

*We have the following hens: Rhodebar, Blue Andalusian, Welsummer, and Dominique all covered by a Cream Legbar roo (mostly) and possibly a Rhodebar roo. (He sneaks a quickie in every now and then before getting knocked off!)

*Planning to set around 20 eggs in our ancient round Sears incubator. It has a new wafer installed and I am trying out a computer fan in it for air circulation.

I'm looking forward to following along with you all! I've been dreaming of hatching chicks for a couple months now. Though our first hatch wasn't a roaring success (only 7 hatched out of 24 - though some of those were definitely not fertile), it was so exciting to watch them hatch!
