I just set 80 eggs, they range anywhere from leghorn mixes to purebred Polish and Orphingtons with some Seremas and Silky eggs in the second incubator. I'm ready! Had to set them today as I'll be out off town tomorrow. This is my first time with so many eggs.

Hi guys! I Have a quick question... I had more eggs than would fit in my bitty bator, but I also have a broody so I set a couple under her. When I spill the beans about numbers should I count just what's in my Brinsea or should I count all of them?

What kinds are they? you guys make me wish that my Bielefelder eggs were coming to day

But alas, I will have to wait at least 3 WHOLE weeks...

Count the broody hatch too.

How exciting!

Count all of them as long as the eggs were not placed under the broody earlier than yesterday.

I just picked up my shipped Wheaten Ameraucana eggs from Lark Rise at the P.O. !!!

They were beautifully packed - none damaged! I ordered 12 and she sent 18!!!!

Beautiful blue eggs!

I candled and a couple have slight saddle air cells, but nothing too serious. I am planning on letting them sit the rest of today and tonight, and then setting them with my other eggs tomorrow morning.

I'm kinda scared. Hope not all are fertile since I had to pile them up like that. That's a lot of babies in one small incubator!

They are really great!

I also have some Basque hens in that pen. And a very pretty Olive egger pullet--UofA blue X Crele Penedesenca.

You can see her and the Basque hens here:



The one one on the left of the white hen is a Basque hen and the one on the right is an OE.
