I started collecting eggs Sunday for the incubator. This will be my first time doing this. I am hoping to set them in the incubator this Sunday (10/25/15) which means a mid-November hatch.

The hens I am collecting from are all RIR's except for one Chocolate Orphington. I get about 4 eggs a day from these, so hoping to set just a little under 30 eggs.

Hi, this is my first time hatching eggs. I have 12 Pekin Bantam eggs due to hatch on the 4th Nov. I candled them last night (day 6) and 3 look unfertilized and one with a blood ring. The other 8 we could see the dark spot moving around. Very exciting!

This is my first time also! We are hatching at the same time! Good luck to you.

The best part of hatching eggs is that feeling. Be it the first time or the 100th best of luck on those little swimmers. Pekin bantams? Must be ducks?

Edited to add.
If they are duck eggs are you misting them with water daily?

I may have miscounted last night and appear to have 9 growing chicks. They're bantam chicken eggs. Very cute with fluffy feet.
