Nice brooder!

I was not able to set eggs for the Easter hatch
I didn't know I would need another bator for staggered Hatches ..... Mine are just hatching now and I will be setting this weekend prob !!!

Thanks for letting us know!

I set some eggs under a broody Buff Orpington yesterday, on the 12, Am I too far off for this hatch?

You are welcome to hatch with us, but for the contest, we can't count them.

Give it some vitamin water. Either poultry vitamins or poly-vi-sol NO IRON.

Nice brooder. Looks a lot like what my hubby built me. Only difference is we made a lid so they dont fly out when the realize they have wings LOL

I set yesterday around 1:30. Here are the Easter hatch eggsters:

ETA: looks like 36 in there. Also: pay no attention to the humidity level. It be broken. ; )

Apparently my counting skills are a bit off. There are 30 eggs in that bator!

12 LF and 12 bantam Russian Orloffs


34 Vorwerk project eggs and 1 white Araucana test egg (the only egg she laid in the past month - tightarse).

Total: 59 eggs
