holy chickies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't think i'll ever be able to play with the big girls.. lol.. i've got 17 in the bator now.. will hopefully add duck eggs tonight.. and then whatever i get from the nov swap... but i cna't even fathom that many chicks... lol..
good luck....

*derails thread* i LOVE that iris in your avatar pic.. is that from your garden??

No, I stole the picture on line. I love irises and have several but no good pictures. As for the eggs, never hatched this many before and had lots of bad hatches the last 43 times with almost 0% hatch rate so my son gave me the prize incubator to see if we could do better.​

I received the white leghorn eggs today. Ah well. Week after Thanksgiving...But the silkies, seramas (maybe), and ducks are scheduled for a Thanksgiving hatch.

I started to candle this morning but my back decided to start spasms so bad I was afraid I'd drop the eggs, plus it really wasn't dark enough in the room to see really well so they'll have to wait until this evening.

I did take one out, it was very obvious it wasn't fertile
