Here is what I set, full incubator, now lets pray that at least 1/2 of them hatch

12-Ameraucana
12-EE
13-OE
3-Leghorn
2-Welsummer
1-Black Sex Link

43 total. Yikes!

I need to run and get shelf liner, I thought I had some from the last hatch, and it wasn't even enough for 1/2 the bator, so I will have to put it down when I hand turn in 48 hours.

It's official! Turtlefat and I have 41 eggs in the incubator! She has 20 that are MF D'uccle over EE's, SS, and a couple others I think. I have 21 that are Welsummer over light brahams, EE's, and a black sex link. They're all slowly warming up!! Fingers are crossed!!!

10 new eggs set today for the BYC Easter Hatch-a-long. Top eggs from an earlier batch, they're at day 14 already.



These are all Bantam Silver Laced Wyandotte [BSLW]. Please note bottom temps are a bit off as I put them in the coolerbator within 30 min of this pic. Top ones were holding steady. Mini fan, dry incubation method.

I only have two hens atm & I think my youngest is having issues (avoiding the roo?) as her eggs weren't fertile. So I suspect only half of the 10 will be fertile. Still giving them all a try!
