Few leghorn crosses,Easter eggers
Many dominiques's
And last but not least Americauna crosses.

I added the hygros and spare thermos, so I took another pic!

I promise I won't open the bator again until I add water when the hygros settle.

Hello, my name is Campin and I'm a chronic candler.

This is the first time I've ever incubated white eggs!!

I love white eggs in my basket. Are your leghorn..California white...?? Easy peezy to candle!

I candled the eggs in incubator #1 tonight. Looking good. Estimated hatch date April 13. Only had a few clear eggs. Incubator #2 i am not seeing much going on but it has not been long enough to really see anything. Estimated hatch date April 17th.

I just put 17 eggs in my LG styrofoam bator tonight.I might add a few more tomorrow just to increase my odds and the FUN. This is my first attempt this year. I did one incubation last spring with the same bator. Hoping to hatch out Black Australorps mostly but a couple of buff orps. Last year I started my flock with eggs from our local hatchery. I am trying our own eggs this time. Grandsons ages 6, 3, and 2 are excited.

I've had to wash some that were bad, and had a few hatch, good luck, if they came from a friend on here, you will get more.
