Aw!! Thanks to everyone here who helped me with my last disastrous (heartbreaking) hatch... I have since corrected the problems.. I used a LG still air, no fan, no turner.. Threw the termometer that came with it as far as I could. Got a digital term and hydrometer as well as 2 $1 terms. I went with 35% ish humidity day 1 thru 18, them 65% at lockdown. Ran the temp on top of the eggs at 102. Which was really 99-103 that made me crazy and a nervous wreck!!! Turning every 8 ish hours of course. Only candled at day 5 10 15 and 18. There was only 1 egg that wasn't fertile!!! The mommys came from Mt Healthy hatchery last summer. Red and white leghorns. The rooster is a white leghorn I bred with the year before hatchery white leghorn hens and my neighbor's white Leghorn Roo. Out of that batch I got a 'california gray' leghorn hen too (She is the mommy to the dark colored ones with an Americauna roo!!) These were all pullet eggs that I collected after quaratining the hens and roos together for 1 month!! Some of these eggs had been stored for over 2 weeks. I was sceptical about it being they were such young hens and roosters.!!! But they did well!!!!!!! I will post pics as they grow!!! I am very excited!!!! I can't wait to try again!! It'll be awhile though! I got allot of sweet little chooks to care for!!
