OK what is Kamut? Never heard of that before.. Lol

It's a type of wheat.

Just got a PM that my Cotton Patch goose eggs will ship tomorrow instead of Wednesday! SQUEEEEE! (Be thankful none of you live near me, I'm pretty sure they heard me in the next county.) Is it weird that I am this excited over hatching eggs that will turn into loud obnoxious eating machines?
Wait. Why would I ask the enablers and addicts that. Of course it's normal. Here anywaw.

Of course it's normal!

Oh and my 3rd incubator should be here Tuesday. Yaaaay!

Yay!

Well I am planning on setting some eggs under one of my silkies/bantams if there broody around that time if this even counts

Of course it counts. I hope a broody comes through for you.

I am IN yeeeehaw! but setting geese. pekin and whoever else is laying...sounds like fun!
I bet I have a few OEGB to set too.

Welcome!

To join, do we just post here? If so, I'm in!

Yep!

I really hope I can get some eggs by the 29th of March

.

I was going to offer you some, but I'm in the US as well. Hope you find some.

I am in!!!!

Welcome!

I cannot believe Im saying this...I'M IN!!!! Ive already got the bator running with CCls and Tolbunts so what the heck!!! My electric bill is going to sky rocket in my barn with the heating units for all these chicks!!
Im hatching my Cream Crested Legbars and Tolbunts...Oh and as many Olive egger eggs I can snag from my Blue marans over my CCL roo..


Ill donate 6+ cream crested legbar eggs includes shipping

Thanks for the donation!

Quote: Great explanation!

Question: Can I stagger eggs in my incubator? If so, how does that work with the humidity setting when one group is due to hatch, but another group in there isn't? I have 20 eggs due to hatch on the 17th - but another 20 not due to hatch until a week later.... will the last 20 be ok with higher humidity setting for a few days?

I always use 2 incubators. I see Ron stated you can do it, and he hatches A LOT, so I'd take his word for it.

Remember everyone - set day for chicken eggs is March 29th at noon your time. So many people are ordering eggs early (and squeezing a hatch in before this hatch), I don't want the new folks confused. Eggs set on the dates in the first post count towards the Hatch-a-long.
