Popping in! ^^ having a blast at trivia night. Actually being helpful too

Hello & welcome. It's kinda quiet in here this late - but it's the only time one can read faster than the posts happen, lol. Congrats on your veins - progress is good!

Thats the truth! hahaha

So dear CayuseRanch said to SET ALL THE EGGS!

So I stuck as many into this little contraption as possible and then snapped a photo. (Thus the temp is down)

What do you think the chances are that any of them will actually hatch? I have to say, turning them is fun.... like juggling eggs actually! LOL

Oh My you made me laugh out loud! Thats Awesome! Egg tetris!

All you people candling are bad influences! I must resist the temptation.

DITTO!

I haven't yet said how many eggs I've set! I set 99, and I've got to candle right away to see if I can make any room! I only set an auction for the Chocolate Marans, but none for the Cochins or Rocks or Ameraucanas, so I've got them suddenly coming out my ears!!! {rummaging through Craigslist to find another Sportsman}

Eeeep!

Cinco DeMayo hatch a long coming up...Find some room so you can SET ALL THE EGGS! lol

So at least two of the three cochins I set for the hatch are coming along! Can't quite tell with the EE's yet, still a bit too early to see anything in those green shells. And I had a cochin hatch yesterday - an April Fool's baby (so it'll be a rooster) and I found out that the eggs are mille fleur! So that makes this little one the first chick I've ever hatched for my mille fleur project.

Also, unrelated to the hatch-a-long, I had my first goose egg pip internally tonight! First geese I've hatched so I'm excited

Has anyone ever set golden peasant eggs before on this hatch-along??? If not, guess what I'll be hatching NEXT year...

Just candled some of my eggs for the hatch-a-long!!! All of the ones I checked were fertile and veining!!!!

Maybe. I'm going to be taking some pics shortly after mine hatch since it's so hot out now.

With all the talk of brinsea problems I thought I would check my big one. Now I think I might have a slight problem in my brinsea 20, since I received my spot checks and water wiggles I have had them in my coolerbator and my mini. Both seem spot on for a temp. Also tested them on myself. So I thought let's pop one in the big incubator. It appears to be almost 2 degrees off!! It's been sitting at 97.5* all day!! I wondered why my last two hatches in it were so poor and took several extra days!! I mean I had chicks hatching up to 5 days late. So my question is should I turn it up to say 101? And just watch the spot check? Nearly all of my appenzellers are in there!! Heck most of my eggs are in there period. Or should I move them to the cooler which is holding near perfect at 99.9? Opinions?
